What this Trial Is About
This clinical trial studies the use of a linear cognitive aid app designed to help emergency medical service (EMS) teams respond to pediatric emergencies. Researchers want to see if this new tool is practical and well accepted by EMS teams in both urban and rural settings. The study compares current standard cognitive aids with the new linear cognitive aid during simulated critical resuscitation scenarios for children. Participants will be randomized into two groups: one using their current standard cognitive aids, and the other using the linear cognitive aid app. Each team will perform two high-fidelity, in situ simulations of critical pediatric resuscitation emergencies. The linear cognitive aid app offers minimal input, linear step-by-step guidance, tailored recommendations based on the patient’s age and scenario, and audio prompts timed to the resuscitation process. During the study, researchers will assess the time it takes teams to reach American Heart Association (AHA) technical milestones, teamwork quality, and participants' perceived cognitive load during each 10-minute simulation. The study aims to evaluate how well teams perform and how the different cognitive aids affect their experience. The trial is led by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and includes adult EMS providers who speak English and are actively practicing.
