Few data exist on pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality. This study is the first to evaluate actual in-hospital CPR. We hypothesized that with bedside CPR training and corrective feedback, quality can approach American Heart Association (AHA) targets.Using recording/feedback defibrillators, of was assessed for patients >or=8 years age who suffered a cardiac arrest in PICU or emergency department (ED). Before during study, program initiated.Between October 2006 February 2008,...
Objectives: During cardiopulmonary resuscitation, adequate coronary perfusion pressure is essential for establishing return of spontaneous circulation. Current American Heart Association guidelines recommend standardized interval administration epinephrine patients in cardiac arrest. The objective this study was to compare short-term survival using a hemodynamic directed resuscitation strategy versus chest compression depth-directed porcine model Design: Randomized interventional study....
Previous research has suggested that the pediatric ATD spine, developed from scaling adult may not adequately represent a child's spine and thus lead to important differences in head trajectory relative human. To gain further insight into this issue, objectives of study were, through non-injurious frontal sled tests on human volunteers, 1) quantify kinematic responses restrained 2) compare those adult. Low-speed were conducted using male volunteers (20 subjects: 6-14 years old, 10 18-40...
Purpose This study aimed to quantify differences between head acceleration measured by a helmet-based accelerometer system for ice hockey and an anthropometric test device (ATD) validate the system’s use in measuring on-ice impacts. Methods A Hybrid III 50th percentile male ATD neck was fit with helmet instrumented Head Impact Telemetry (HIT) System impacted at various speeds directions different interfaces helmet. Error reference peak accelerations quantified, influence of impact direction...
A series of 26 human cadaver tests with chestband instrumentation and accelerometers were completed to assess side impact injury tolerance. Heidelberg-type sled test system was used thorax, abdomen, pelvic load plates. Tests conducted at two different velocities: 24 kph 32 kph. Test conditions included rigid wall, padded offset. Accelerations recorded rib 4, 8, T12. Up three chestbands placed on each surrogate. Injury criteria including the Average Spine Acceleration (ASA) 15N, Thoracic...
Thirty-six lateral PMHS sled tests were performed at 6.7 or 8.9 m/s, under rigid padded loading conditions and with a variety of impact surface geometries. Forces between the simulated vehicle environment thorax, abdomen, pelvis, as well torso deflections various accelerations measured scaled to average male. Mean +/- one standard deviation corridors calculated. response for force, deflection acceleration developed. The offset test condition, when partnered flat wall forms basis robust...
Accurate pediatric thoracic force and deflection data are critical to develop biofidelic anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs) used in designing motor vehicle safety systems for child occupants. Typically, post-mortem human subject (PMHS) experiments conducted gather such data. However, there few PMHS available impact research, therefore novel methods required determine biomechanical from children. In this study, we have leveraged the application of chest compressions provided clinical...
No experimental data exist quantifying the force-deformation behavior of pediatric chest when subjected to non-impact, dynamic loading from a diagonal belt or distributed surface. Kent et al. (2006) previously published juvenile abdominal response collected using porcine model. This paper reports on series experiments 7-year-old post-mortem human subject (PMHS) undertaken guide scaling existing adult thoracic for application child and assess validity The PMHS exhibited similar swine,...
A new biofidelity assessment system is being developed and applied to three side impact dummies: the WorldSID-alpha, ES-2 SID-HIII. This quantifies (1) ability of a dummy load vehicle as cadaver does, "External Biofidelity," (2) replicate those responses that best predict injury potential, "Internal Biofidelity." The ranking uses from head drop tests, thorax shoulder pendulum whole body sled tests. Each test condition assigned weight factor based on number human subjects tested form...
