Brief Summary
Pediatric cardiac arrest is an uncommon but critical life-threatening event requiring effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). About 16,000 pediatric cardiac arrests occurs in the United States annually. Only 8% of the patients survive to hospital discharge and of these, up to two-thirds have neurological sequelae. Majority of pediatric cardiac arrest are below age of two and have poorer chance of survival versus older children

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
systolic blood pressure
The blood measurement system was calibrated before each CPR setting and blood pressure including systolic blood pressure (SBP)
1 day
Secondary Outcomes (2)
diastolic blood pressure
1 day
mean arterial pressure
1 day
Study Arms (3)
Two finger technique
EXPERIMENTALTwo finger technique TFT: the pediatric thorax is compressed with the tips of two fingers and is recommended for lone rescuer during infant CPR by international CPR guidelines
Two thumb technique
EXPERIMENTALTwo thumb technique TTHT: the two thumbs of the rescuer are placed over the lower third of the sternum, with the fingers encircling the torso and supporting the back. This technique is recommended for two rescuers during infant CPR by international CPR guidelines
new two-thumb technique
EXPERIMENTALnew two-thumb technique' (nTTT): this technique consists in using two thumbs directed at the angle of 90 degrees to the chest while closing the fingers of both hands in a fist
Interventions
CPR for 10 minutes with a chest compression: ventilation ratio of 15:2 according to international CPR guidelines
