Mobile bedside station for optimized pediatric CPR delivery

Background

Pediatric resuscitation requires rapid and high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to maximize survival and reduce the risk of neurological impairment. Despite advances in emergency care, over 15,000 children receive in-hospital CPR annually in the United States, with survival to discharge remaining around 40 percent. Many survivors experience lasting complica­tions, highlighting the urgent need for better resuscitation workflows. Current systems, including the Broselow cart, are not optimized for the dynamic nature of CPR, often contributing to treatment delays. Issues such as poor room ergonomics, inefficient equipment access, and suboptimal placement of feedback monitors reduce CPR quality and patient outcomes.

Technology overview

This innovation is a mobile, non-powered pediatric resuscitation station designed specifically to enhance CPR performance at the bedside. Its height-optimized structure supports ergonomic delivery of compressions and provides a raised shelf for unobstructed viewing of real-time CPR feedback monitors. The station includes clearly labeled drawers with critical supplies such as feedback pads and airway devices, as well as dedicated mounts for a backboard and a fold-out stepstool to support correct compression technique. A laminated cognitive aid checklist offers immediate visual guidance for resuscitation tasks.
Designed for seamless integration alongside standard medication carts, the layout was developed through human factors engineering and has been validated to reduce CPR interruptions and delays. This platform complements existing systems while uniquely addressing the need for CPR-focused organization and real-time feedback integration.
