Accurate measurement of chest compression depth using impulse-radio ultra-wideband sensor on a mattress.

ABSTRACT: We developed a new chest compression depth (CCD) measuring technology using radar and impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) sensor. This study was performed to determine its accuracy on a soft surface.Four trials, trial 1: chest compressions on the floor using an accelerometer device; trial 2: chest compressions on the floor using an IR-UWB sensor; trial 3: chest compressions on a foam mattress using an accelerometer device; trial 4: chest compressions on a foam mattress using an IR-UWB sensor, were performed in a random order. In all the trials, a cardiopulmonary resuscitation provider delivered 50 uninterrupted chest compressions to a manikin.The CCD measured by the manikin and the device were as follows: 57.42 ± 2.23 and 53.92 ± 2.92 mm, respectively in trial 1 (p < 0.001); 56.29 ± 1.96 and 54.16 ± 3.90 mm, respectively in trial 2 (p < 0.001); 55.61 ± 1.57 and 103.48 ± 10.48 mm, respectively in trial 3 (p < 0.001); 57.14 ± 3.99 and 55.51 ± 3.39 mm, respectively in trial 4 (p = 0.012). The gaps between the CCD measured by the manikin and the devices (accelerometer device vs. IR-UWB sensor) on the floor were not different (3.50 ± 2.08 mm vs. 3.15 ± 2.27 mm, respectively, p = 0.136). However, the gaps were significantly different on the foam mattress (48.53 ± 5.65 mm vs. 4.10 ± 2.47 mm, p < 0.001).The IR-UWB sensor could measure the CCD accurately both on the floor and on the foam mattress.

Project description:BackgroundCurrent guidelines recommend a 50 mm or greater compression depth for manual chest compression in adults. However, whether this uniform compression depth is a suitable requirement for mechanical CPR remains to be determined. We hypothesized that a relatively shallow compression depth (30 mm) would have similar hemodynamic efficacy but fewer complications versus the standard compression depth (50 mm) during mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with the miniaturized chest compressor (MCC) in a porcine model.MethodsIn the current study, we used a total of 16 domestic male pigs (38±2 kg). All pigs were exposed to 7 min of ventricular fibrillation (VF) followed by 5 min of CPR. Then the animals were randomly assigned to the shallow (30 mm) group and the standard (50 mm) group. At the second min of CPR, every pig was given epinephrine (20 µg/kg) through the femoral vein and repeated every 3 min. First defibrillation was delivered with a single 120 J shock at 5 min of CPR. Hemodynamics, carotid blood flow (CBF), end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2), coronary perfusion pressure (CPP), intrathoracic pressure (ITP) and arterial blood gas were measured. Rib fractures and lung injuries, as indicated by ground-glass opacification (GGO), as well as intense parenchymal opacification (IPO), were assessed and calculated by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) scan.ResultsWe found no significant differences in CPP, CBF, or ETCO2 between the both groups throughout the CPR period. After administration of epinephrine, the CPP of all animals increased while ETCO2 and CBF decreased during CPR. A significantly lower intrathoracic positive pressure (ITPP) and systolic artery pressure (SAP) were measured in the shallow group at the first min of CPR. However, we didn't find remarkable differences in these values between the both groups for the next 4 min of CPR. All animals were successfully resuscitated. The shallow group had significantly lower IPO QCT scores compared with the standard group. We found no significant differences in GGO QCT scores after resuscitation between both groups.ConclusionsRelatively shallow compression depth has similar hemodynamic efficacy but fewer complications versus the standard compression depth.
