The Catholic University of Murcia has proven the efficiency of 'Sipe Baby Rescuer' thanks to the creation of a pediatric simulator with motion sensors that detect possible displacements of the child's head and spine during rescue while in his / her chair. car
At present, when a traffic accident occurs in which a child subject to his chair travels, he is immobilized with the so-called 'means of fortune', that is, the child is packed with towels or sheets so that he suffers the Less movement possible.
To improve this service, Raúl Esquina, a health emergency technician, has created the Sipe Baby Rescuer device, a pediatric immobilization system whereby the baby stays automatically packaged, reducing the risk of aggravating possible injuries, in addition to reducing it by half the rescue time, which with the traditional method is about five minutes.
In addition, this device allows the complete immobilization of the child from the chair to the ambulance, "explains Esquina.
The Catholic University of Murcia, through a specialized research group in clinical simulation and emergencies, and a group of students of the Master in Nursing Emergencies, has been chosen to evaluate the device.
For this, the UCAM has developed a specific simulator: "We have adapted the neck pieces so that it has the movement of a child and we have given the doll the corresponding weight", comments Manuel Pardo, vice-dean of the UCAM and researcher in Emergencies .
In addition, sensors were installed to the simulator "so that they could transmit the child's position at all times, seeing the movement of the neck in all the axes of space".
In the evaluation has collaborated the Association of Rescue in Traffic and Emergencies (ARTE), experts in this type of emergencies, and pediatric trauma care instructors of Sipe, who have carried out the action of the rescue while evaluating both the time of the rescue as the child's health.
