Abstract: A system for VT localization comprises an electrocardiograph (ECG) device for detecting electrical signals of a ventricular fibrillation event in a patient and producing ECG data, a localizer, and a display device. The localizer comprises a memory and a processor, the memory storing a model and one or more parameters of the model. The memory further stores instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to receive the ECG data, and generate a determination indicating whether a detected VT signal arose from an endocardial surface or epicardial surface based on signal averaged waveform for each of the leads. The display device is configured to output the determination, which can also be communicated to follow-on provider systems.

Abstract: A system having scalable sockets to support User Datagram Protocol (UDP) connections identifies a plurality of UDP connections, wherein a plurality of remote clients connect to corresponding ones of the plurality of UDP connections. Each one of a plurality of UDP sockets is associated with a corresponding one of the plurality of UDP connections. A network stack lookup for UDP packets in network traffic is performed using a network stack to identify the UDP socket corresponding to the remote client associated with each of the UDP packet. The UDP packets are buffered with a send buffer and a receive buffer for the UDP socket corresponding to the remote client associated with the UDP packets as determined by the network stack lookup to support communication over the plurality of UDP connections using the plurality of UDP sockets. The system thereby operates more efficiently and/or is more scalable.
