TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Development of a 10-year-old pediatric thorax finite element model validated against cardiopulmonary resuscitation data JO - Proceedings of the International Research Council on the Biomechanics of Injury conference A1 - Jiang, Binhui A1 - Mao, Haojie A1 - Wagner, Christina A1 - Cao, Liqun A1 - Yang, King H. SP - 206 EP - 209 VL - 39 IS - N2 - Thoracic injury in the pediatric population is a relatively common cause of severe injury and a marker of injury severity accompanied by a high mortality rate. However, no anatomically accurate, complex pediatric chest finite element (FE) component model is available for a 10 year-old (YO) in the literature. In the current study, a 10 YO thorax FE model was developed based on scanned geometries. The model was then validated against published data measured during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed on pediatric subjects.
