Sternal Wall Pressure in the Cath Lab

NCT01117883 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2011-07-14

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This protocol is a prospective interventional pilot study at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to determine whether or not two increments of sternal pressure known to occur during "leaning" in CPR affects hemodynamic function, coronary perfusion pressures, and intrathoracic pressure in order to inform the resuscitation community on reasonable target pressures to avoid "leaning" on the chest during pediatric CPR.

Conditions

  • Perfusion Pressures
  • Central Venous Pressure
  • Cardiac Output
  • CPR
  • Cardiac Arrest

Interventions

OTHER

Application of two different sternal weights

Two separate weights (first 10% of body weight, then 20% of body weight) will be placed on the sternum and changes in central hemodynamic measurements and intrathoracic pressure will be recorded and documented.
