Randomized Controlled Trial
Improving CPR quality with distributed practice and real-time feedback in pediatric healthcare providers - A randomized controlled trial.
Guideline compliant CPR is associated with improved survival for patients with cardiac arrest. Conventional Basic Life Support (BLS) training results in suboptimal CPR competency and skill retention. We aimed to compare the effectiveness of distributed CPR training with real-time feedback to conventional BLS training for CPR skills in pediatric healthcare providers. ⋯ Distributed CPR training with real-time feedback improves the compliance of AHA guidelines of quality of CPR.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Impact of a CPR feedback device on healthcare provider workload during simulated cardiac arrest.
We aimed to describe the differences in workload between team leaders and CPR providers during a simulated pediatric cardiac arrest, to evaluate the impact of a CPR feedback device on provider workload, and to describe the association between provider workload and the quality of CPR. ⋯ Healthcare providers reported high workloads during a simulated pediatric cardiac arrest. Physical and mental workloads differed based on provider role. CPR providers using a CPR feedback device reported increased average workloads. The quality of CPR improved with higher reported physical workloads.
