- Original description
This study will be a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial in a tertiary pediatric emergency department with two parallel groups of voluntary pediatric physicians and nurses. The impact of a mHealth supportive tool will be compared with conventional communication methods on situational awareness, leadership, team communication effectiveness and performance during standardized, simulation-based, pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest scenario using a high-fidelity manikin. Thirty-six participants will be randomized (1:1). The primary endpoint is the situational awareness score measured with the situation awareness global assessment technique (SAGAT) instrument.Read full original descriptionShow less
Impact of a Shared Decision-making mHealth Tool on Caregivers' Team Situational Awareness, Communication Effectiveness, and Performance During Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: a Randomized Controlled Trial
This study will be a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial in a tertiary pediatric emergency department with two parallel groups of voluntary pediatric physicians and nurses. The impact of a mHealth supportive tool will be compared with conventional communication methods on situational awareness, leadership, team communication effectiveness and performance during standardized, simulation-based, pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest scenario using a high-fidelity manikin. Thirty-six participants will be randomized (1:1). The primary endpoint is the situational awareness score measured with the situation awareness global assessment technique (SAGAT) instrument.
Inclusion: Any physician performing a fellowship in the pediatric emergency department; Any postgraduate residents pursuing a <5 years residency in pediatrics; To be registered nurses from the PED; To have previously completed a standardized 15-min introductory course on the use of the InterFACE tool dispensed by the study investigators; Participation agreement.
Exclusion: To have not undergone the standardized 15-min introductory course on the use of the InterFACE tool dispensed by the study investigators; Participation to a simulation in the past month is an exclusion criterion to avoid a recent training effect.
