Ice pack to break cardiac arrhythmias in infants without causing trauma

Cardiac arrhythmias are common in infancy and the most common method to abort arrhythmias is to apply a bag of ice to an infant's face, but this can cause trauma. Physicians at Nationwide Children's have designed an ice pack that can be applied to an infant's face to break arrhythmia by the cold touch to sensitive areas of the face, but not injure the infant's eyes and nose.
