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 Child...

Detailed Description

Context: Resuscitation (CPR) guidelines recommend target values for rate and depth of rescue breathing and chest compressions. Defibrillator electrode pads can accurately detect the size, rate, and sp...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • 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.

Exclusion

  • 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
