CPR SIMULATOR PROTOTYPE FOR NEONATES

This integrative project describes the development of a prototype to carry out practices of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation of neonates or young infants by medical science students and anyone interested in acquiring skills in this activity. Currently there are different types of models to carry out this task. However, it was decided to design an own system in order to have an accessible prototype to be able to add sensors and interfaces in such a way that when carrying out the CPR practices more realism, fidelity, practical application is obtained and it allows to carry out a posteriori the evaluation process that can be used as feedback to the user. In addition, greater accessibility from the economic point of view. This project, therefore, seeks to develop a training and learning system for the user that will have different stages considered necessary to optimize the learning of the procedure. I sought to proceed with the elements and possibilities that are within our reach, due to the impossibility of accessing the GRSI laboratory motivated by the Covid pandemic19, I carried out a prototype that is the most faithful and similar to what it will be in the future, which can obtain results that will serve the user to positively feedback their capabilities to carry out this activity. After starting this project, which was of great interest in different areas it was carried out the development of a 3D model of the torso of an infant between 2 and 6 months, which will be prototyped at a later stage, once it is possible to access the GRSI laboratory of our faculty, for medical practice of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The resulting model was designed to house the system of sensors that will perform a real-time diagnosis of the user's performance. Therefore, the model has the appropriate spaces for each component of the system, such as its sensors, wiring, power supply, boards and displays.
