NCT03204162

Brief Summary

There is significant data showing that the quality of CPR performed is quite poor. Recent studies have shown that when real-time visual corrective feedback is available to CPR providers, quality (compression depth and rate) improves. Pilot work at John's Hopkins Children's Hospital indicates that providing a CPR Coach whose role it is to provide real-time coaching during cardiac arrest, further improves the quality of CPR. This study will assess the impact of a CPR Coach for improving CPR quality and CPR perception in a team of healthcare providers during simulated CPA.

Study Arms (2)

Teams with no CPR Coach

NO INTERVENTION

This will be a standardized Resuscitation team with no CPR Coach

Teams with CPR Coach

EXPERIMENTAL

This will be a standardized Resuscitation team where one member will be the CPR Coach and provide CPR Coaching to the team.

Other: CPR Coaching

Interventions

Teams in the experimental arm will have a member of their team assigned to be the CPR Coach. This person will provide CPR Coaching in the form of feedback in CPR quality (depth, rate) to the CPR providers as well as provide guidance on time for defibrillation, etc.

Teams with CPR Coach
