Quantitative Measurement of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) During In Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Completed

Conditions studied: Cardiac Arrest, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

In brief

The design of this protocol is a prospective observational study to objectively measure the rate, depth and quality of chest compressions and ventilations delivered during cardiac arrest in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and Emergency Department (ED) settings utilizing the MRx/Q-CPR. The data collected will be analyzed for several purposes - for comparison with current American Heart Association (AHA) Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) guidelines and to determine chest wall stiffness for CPR modeling efforts and construction of biofidelic manikins or test dummies for CPR and auto safety.
