Infant Chest Compression

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

Treatment and study plan

cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Procedure

CPR for 10 minutes with a chest compression: ventilation ratio of 15:2 according to international CPR guidelines

Primary outcomes

  1. systolic blood pressure

    Time frame: 1 day

    The blood measurement system was calibrated before each CPR setting and blood pressure including systolic blood pressure (SBP)

Secondary outcomes

  1. diastolic blood pressure

    Time frame: 1 day

    The blood measurement system was calibrated before each CPR setting and blood pressure including diastolic blood pressure (DBP)

  2. mean arterial pressure

    Time frame: 1 day

    The blood measurement system was calibrated before each CPR setting and blood pressure including systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP)
