Impact of a mHealth Supportive Tool on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation' Situational Awareness
Sponsor: Pediatric Clinical Research Platform
Summary
This study will be a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial in a tertiary pediatric emergency department with two parallel groups of voluntary pediatric physicians and nurses. The impact of a mHealth supportive tool will be compared with conventional communication methods on situational awareness, leadership, team communication effectiveness and performance during standardized, simulation-based, pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest scenario using a high-fidelity manikin. Thirty-six participants will be randomized (1:1). The primary endpoint is the situational awareness score measured with the situation awareness global assessment technique (SAGAT) instrument.

Interventions
InterFACE (mHealth tool)
Participants will be asked to perform consecutively two 20-min highly realistic, scripted CPR scenarios (first: PALS-based scenario, second: ATLS-based scenario) on a high-fidelity WiFi manikin. Within each scenario, 3 separate "freeze" periods will occur at random points in time to assess the shared and complementary Situation Awareness of each team member individually regarding the CPR in progress at that exact moment in time. The scenarios will be standardized to strictly follow the 2018 AHA algorithms and the 2018 ATLS guidelines. Both scenarios will be completed in the same order and the procedure will be standardized across all teams to follow the same chronological progression and range of difficulty in order to ensure that each participant is exposed to exactly the same case, with similar challenges in technical and non-technical skills. Participants allocated to Arm A will not be allowed to use any other cognitive support.

Participants allocated to group B will be allowed to use the PALS pocket reference cards and a conventional calculator, but not any other cognitive support or mHealth tool.
