Augmented reality CPR feedback for pediatric resuscitation

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a multicenter, randomized, international simulation study comparing an augmented reality CPR feedback system to human coaching during an 18-minute simulated pediatric cardiac arrest. Teams of nurses and clinical technicians with PALS certification perform chest compressions on a high-fidelity pediatric manikin, with one arm using AR-CPR and the other receiving real-time guidance from a CPR coach. The trial is non-inferiority and focuses on whether AR-CPR achieves guideline-recommended rate and depth of compressions as well as recoil. It is unblinded and conducted across eight institutions in the US and Canada, with the primary outcome being the percentage of compressions meeting target metrics. Participants are pediatric ED/ICU staff, organized into teams of 1–3 members, and the intervention isolates chest compression performance to evaluate feedback modality effects.
