Augmented Reality-Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Support for Pediatric Resuscitation

This study evaluates whether an augmented reality cardiopulmonary resuscitation feedback system (AR-CPR) can support health care providers in delivering high-quality chest compressions during pediatric cardiac arrest. AR-CPR provides real-time visual feedback on chest compression rate, depth, and recoil through a head-mounted augmented reality display. In this randomized, multicenter, international, simulation-based non-inferiority study, health care providers perform chest compressions during an 18-minute simulated pediatric cardiac arrest. Participants are assigned to receive either real-time feedback from AR-CPR or coaching from a trained human CPR coach. The primary objective is to determine whether the percentage of chest compressions meeting guideline targets for both rate and depth with AR-CPR is non-inferior to that achieved with human CPR coaching.

Inclusion Criteria: * Actively credentialed pediatric emergency department or pediatric intensive care unit nurse or clinical technician at a participating study site * Current American Heart Association (AHA) Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) certification Exclusion Criteria: * Inability to physically perform chest compressions * Need for prescription corrective lenses without having those corrective lenses available at the time of study participation
