Brief Summary

Outcomes for pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are suboptimal. CPR quality is directly related to resuscitation outcome, yet numerous deficiencies in CPR quality have been documented in adult studies. While similar deficiencies can be expected in pediatric resuscitation attempts, there is little to no data evaluating the existing quality of CPR performed during resuscitation attempts. Therefore, the objective of this study is to quantitatively evaluate existing CPR quality using a Q-CPR compression sensor manufactured by Philips Medical Systems with technology from Laerdal Medical.

Cardiac arrest, CPR, pediatric

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Determine the existing quality of CPR performed during the resuscitation of children 1year to less than 8 years of age.

  2 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Determine the chest wall stiffness of children in order to improve quantitative CPR modeling efforts and to facilitate the construction of more biofidelic pediatric manikins for CPR simulation and test dummies for automotive safety.

  2 years

Interventions

There is no intervention for this study. DEVICE

There is no intervention for this study. The pre-NSR IDE for this study is simply a modification to allow for recording of data without intervention.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 1 Year - 7 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

Cardiac arrests (chest compression events) occurring in the pediatric intensive care unit having consented for enrollment in the study.

You may qualify if:

• Cardiac arrests (chest compression events) occurring in the pediatric intensive care unit
• Arrest patient age 1 year to less than 8 years
• Subject pre-screened by a member of the Cardiac Arrest Research Team for safe use of the modified MRx/Quality of CPR (Q-CPR)
• The modified MRx/Quality of CPR (Q-CPR) Compressions Sensor deployed
• All clinical staff who participate in enrolled resuscitation events and who provided chest compressions

You may not qualify if:

• Cardiac arrests for patients classified as do not attempt resuscitation (DNAR)
• Patient condition or size resulting in attending physician or physician fellow designee deciding not to deploy the modified MRx/Quality of CPR (Q-CPR) chest compression sensor (e.g., recent sternotomy)
