Abstract

Cardiac arrest remains a leading cause of death worldwide, necessitating proactive measures for early detection and intervention. This project aims to develop and assess predictive models for the timely identification of cardiac arrest incidents, utilizing a comprehensive dataset of clinical parameters and patient histories. Employing machine learning (ML) algorithms like XGBoost, Gradient Boosting, and Naive Bayes, alongside a deep learning (DL) approach with Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), we aim to enhance early detection capabilities. Rigorous experimentation and validation revealed the superior performance of the RNN model, which effectively captures complex temporal dependencies within the data. Our findings highlight the efficacy of these models in accurately predicting cardiac arrest likelihood, emphasizing the potential for improved patient care through early risk stratification and personalized interventions. By leveraging advanced analytics, healthcare providers can proactively mitigate cardiac arrest risk, optimize resource allocation, and improve patient outcomes. This research highlights the transformative potential of machine learning and deep learning techniques in managing cardiovascular risk and advances the field of predictive healthcare analytics.
