Summary

This trial will compare the use of augmented reality devices to the traditional AHA pocket reference card in pediatric emergency departments to see if it helps healthcare teams follow advanced life support guidelines better and reduce medication errors during

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthcare teams in pediatric emergency departments. Participants must be able to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use either augmented reality tools or a pocket reference card during simulated cardiac arrest scenarios.
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of an augmented reality tool versus a conventional AHA pocket reference card during CPR. It measures adherence to guidelines, performance, and medication errors in pediatric cardiac arrest situations.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves simulation training with no direct patient interventions, there are no medical side effects expected from participating. However, participants may experience stress or fatigue due to the nature of emergency simulations.
