Brief Summary

Objectives: The primary objective of this project is to assess whether the implementation of a new cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training program (longitudinal training with real-time feedback) can improve CPR quality of healthcare providers compared with traditional training method. The secondary objective is to identify whether the implementation of the new training program will result in cost-effectiveness. Design: Randomized trial to compare new training program with tradition training method and cost-effectiveness alongside this trial Participants and setting: Paediatric healthcare providers in Emergency Department at Alberta Children's Hospital. Subjects will be enrolled in either intervention (new training program) or control (traditional training program) by random. Statistical analysis: Investigators will conduct chi-square test and independent t-test to compare the proportion of excellent CPR and 3 metrics of CPR quality of intervention group with control group at the end of 12-month interval. A multi-level logistic regression and linear regression models will be used to assess the effect of training method and time on proportion of excellent CPR and 3 metrics of CPR quality. Investigators will also conduct a full-economic evaluation in a health care system prospective. cost-effectiveness will be expressed as cost per increased CPR excellence according to incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). A one-way sensitivity analysis and a probabilistic sensitivity analysis will be conducted to deal with uncertainty in effects and costs. Conclusion: The new CPR training program will serve as an example of competency-based psychomotor skill training program and help healthcare providers to improve quality of CPR, and potentially improve the survival of children with cardiac arrest. The results of the studies might provide evidence to inform and update in resuscitation education guideline to change the way of CPR training and improve the cost-effectiveness of CPR training program.
