Randomized Controlled Trial
Randomised crossover trial of rate feedback and force during chest compressions for paediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
To determine the effect of visual feedback on rate of chest compressions, secondarily relating the forces used. ⋯ While visual feedback restricted excessive compression rates to within the prescribed range, applied force remained widely variable. The forces required may differ with growth, but such variation treating one manikin is alarming. Feedback technologies additionally measuring force (effort) could help to standardise and define effective treatments throughout childhood.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Randomised controlled trial and economic evaluation of the 'Families for Health' programme to reduce obesity in children.
Evaluating effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of 'Families for Health V2' (FFH) compared with usual care (UC). ⋯ FFH was neither effective nor cost-effective for the management of obesity compared with UC.
