Clinical Trial Summary

A prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trial in two tertiary pediatric emergency department. It will assess, amongst pediatric healthcare teams, whether the use of augmented reality supportive devices improves adherence to American Heart Association (AHA) advanced life support guidelines and performance, while reducing medication errors, when compared to groups using the AHA pocket reference card (control) during standardized, simulation-based, pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) scenarios. Seventy participants will be randomized. The primary endpoint is the time to first dose of epinephrine.


Clinical Trial Description

Each year, thousands of children experience cardiopulmonary arrests (CA), requiring immediate and accurate resuscitation for favorable outcomes. However, adherence to American Heart Association (AHA) advanced life support guidelines remains suboptimal, hindered by cognitive and communication challenges in high-stress cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) situations. To address this problem, will assess a novel augmented reality (AR)-assisted digital health solution designed to offer personalized, real-time decision support for team leaders and medication nurses, while concurrently optimizing team situational awareness and communication by projecting a dynamic care roadmap onto a large screen in the resuscitation room, controlled via a mobile tablet app. The solution comprises three essential digitally interconnected elements: 1) a mobile app that presents clinical algorithms alongside patient data, guiding the resuscitation team through step-by-step procedures, 2) a giant screen that displays real-time patient information and task progress for the entire resuscitation team, and 3) augmented reality devices worn by team members, providing role-specific guidance and decision support based on data collected by the app. In this trial, we will assess, amongst pediatric healthcare teams, whether the use of the AR-assisted tool improves adherence to AHA resuscitation guidelines and performance, while reducing medication errors, when compared to groups using the AHA pocket reference card (control) in an open-label, prospective, multicenter, cluster randomized (1:1 ratio) clinical trial. Seventy physicians and nurses, in teams of five will have to manage simulated pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) scenarios while using the AR-assisted tool or conventional AHA pocket reference cards. The primary outcome is the time in seconds to first dose of epinephrine. Secondary outcomes are times to CPR initiation, defibrillation, drug delivery, airway securing, the rate of medication errors, CPR pause frequency, CPR quality (excellent CPR percentage, chest compression fraction, peri-shock pause duration), provider workload (NASA-TLX survey) and stress (STAI), user experience (UEQ), system usability (SUS), and technology acceptance (UTAUT). ;
