PediAppRREST: effectiveness of an interactive cognitive support tablet app in reducing deviations from guidelines in the management of paediatric cardiac arrest: protocol for a simulation-based randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Paediatric cardiac arrest (PCA), despite its low incidence, has a high mortality. Its management is complex and deviations from guideline recommendations occur frequently. We developed a new interactive tablet app, named PediAppRREST, to support the management of PCA. The app received a good usability evaluation in a previous pilot trial. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the PediAppRREST app in reducing deviations from guideline recommendations in PCA management.

Methods and analysis

This is a multicentre, simulation-based, randomised controlled, three-parallel-arm study. Participants are residents in Paediatric, Emergency Medicine, and Anaesthesiology programmes in Italy. All 105 teams (315 participants) manage the same scenario of in-ho
