Abstract

Optimizing chest compression (CC) performance during neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is critical to improving survival outcomes since current clinical protocols often achieve only a fraction of the native cardiovascular perfusion. This study presents the development of a diagnostic tool to unobtrusively measure the CC depth and force during neonatal CPR using sensors mounted on a glove platform. The performance of the glove was evaluated by infant manikin tests using the two-thumb (TT) and two-finger (TF) methods of CC during simulated, unventilated neonatal CPR. The TT method yielded maximum CC depths and forces of as much as 25.7 ± 3.2 mm and 35.9 ± 2.2 N while the TF method produced CC depths and forces of as much as 21.6 ± 2.2 mm and 23.7 ± 2.9 N. These results are consistent with clinical findings which suggest that TT compression is more effective than TF compression since it produces greater CC depths and forces.
