Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 6 months to 8 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child

Study population: Emergency Department (ED), Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), Operating Room (OR) and Regular Inpatient Care Area (RIPCA) settings at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Who may be able to join

  • Children aged 6 months to 8 years receiving care in the ED, OR, PICU, or RIPCA

About this study

Official title: Feasibility of CPR Adjuncts in Children: Q-CPR Compression Sensor Size Qualification

This prospective, pilot observational study will be performed in the Emergency Department (ED), Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), Operating Room (OR) and regular inpatient care area (RIPCA) settings at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The differences in trained pediatric health care provider placement of the compression sensor and their assessment of the suitability / willingness to use the current or size modified sensor will be assessed.

Read the detailed description

Context: Expert recommendations for CPR skills (blowing air into the lungs, pressing on the chest) are poorly followed by health care providers. CPR sensors as small as a hockey "puck" placed on the chest during CPR delivery are able to coach a rescuer to perform better CPR through corrective voice feedback. More adults survive when the quality of CPR (Q-CPR) is improved. This new technology is currently not approved for use in children, specifically 6 months to < 8 years of age.

Objectives:

  1. Characterize trained pediatric health care provider opinion concerning how appropriate the current Q-CPR sensor ("puck"), FDA approved for children ≥ 8 years of age, is for use in younger children ages 6m to < 8 years of age.
  2. Determine the need for Q-CPR sensor ("puck") size changes to improve its suitability for younger children < 8 years of age, based upon trained pediatric health care provider opinion.
  3. Characterize the amount of Q-CPR sensor ("puck") overlap with standard large and small mock defibrillator electrode pads placed in usual locations on the chest.
  4. Evaluate trained pediatric health care provider self-reported willingness to use current or modified Q-CPR sensors ("pucks") in younger children, 6 months to < 8 years of age.

Study Design/Setting/Participants: This observational study will be performed in the Emergency Department (ED), Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), Operating Room (OR) and regular inpatient care area (RIPCA) settings at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Parents and guardians of children ages 6m to < 8 years of age receiving routine clinical care in these patient care areas will be approached for inclusion. Health care practitioners (HCPs) in the ED, OR and PICU will also be approached for inclusion.

Study Measures: Children will have their age, length, weight, and simple measurements of their chest, neck and abdomen taken. The differences in trained pediatric health care provider placement of the compression sensor and their assessment of the suitability / willingness to use the current or size modified sensor will be assessed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of CPR, run by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determination of how appropriate the existing compression sensor is on children aged 6m to 8yrs, based upon trained pediatric health care provider opinion. (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Dec 2008.
