Paediatric chest compression performance improves via novel augmented-reality cardiopulmonary resuscitation feedback system: A mixed-methods pilot study in a simulation-based setting.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

More than 20,000 children experience a cardiac arrest event each year in the United States. Most children do not survive. High-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been associated with improved outcomes yet adherence to guidelines is poor. We developed and tested an augmented reality head mounted display chest compression (CC) feedback system (AR-CPR) designed to provide real-time CC feedback and guidance.

Methods

We conducted an unblinded randomized crossover simulation-based study to determine whether AR-CPR changes a user's CC performance. A convenience sample of healthcare providers who perform CC on children were included. Subjects performed three two-minute cycles of CC during a simulated 18-minute paediatric cardiac arrest. Subjects were randomized to u
