Brief Summary
This study is a prospective, observational case series of a convenience sample of mechanically ventilated pediatric patients in the Pediatric ICU, Progressive Care Unit and Operating Room at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. We propose to observe, measure and report the accuracy, precision and bias of defibrillator electrode pads to detect breathing in stable but critically ill and mechanically ventilated children. This study will provide preliminary data to inform the resuscitation research community and assist development of evidence-based pediatric resuscitation guidelines in the future.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
This is a pilot study to gather preliminary data. The primary endpoint is the accuracy of defibrillator pad detection of breaths >2ml/kg, compared to the gold standard pneumotachometer detection of breaths.

Eligibility Criteria
Pediatric patients admitted to the Pediatric Intensive care Unit, Progressive Care Unit or Operating Room at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
You may qualify if:
- Patients age 6 months - 17 years with:
- Artificial airway
- Mechanical ventilation (PCV or VCV)
- Hemodynamic stability to participate in the study, as determined by the clinical treatment team.
- Parental/guardian permission (informed consent) and if appropriate, child assent.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with chest tubes
- High frequency ventilation (Jet or Oscillation)
- Airway Pressure Release ventilation
- Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
- Significant chest wall abnormality (e.g. Vertebral Expandable Prosthetic Titanium Rib (VEPTR) or device precluding typical placement of defibrillator electrode pads)
- Altered skin integrity in areas where defibrillator electrode pads would be placed
