Head Position Angles in Children

NCT00532636 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 78

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Inexperienced rescuers may encounter severe problems in an unconscious patient in opening and maintaining an upper airway patent. Designing a ventilating device that could indicate how to open an upper airway correctly may be beneficial. The head of children is randomly placed in different head positions by one investigator. A ventilating mask is then pressed gently on the child's face followed by measurement of the head position angles and pulmonary function. This information could be utilised to optimise assisted ventilation of an unprotected upper airway in children.
