More Information
Summary:BlueBox is an electronic recorder for code-blue events, a term for dire emergency that calls for an immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) following a cardiac or respiratory arrest. It records all relevant vital signs, including ECG and cardiac rhythm, verbal orders and their execution, chest compression, cardioversion and defibrillation procedures, medications, and labs. The prototype was built and successfully tested on a high-fidelity mannequin in the simulation center and on pigs in the animal lab. The results shows BlueBox to be able to support medical training and quality improvement in code-blue situations and to enhance safety for patients undergoing CPR in hospitals.
