What this Trial Is About
High-quality chest compressions are critical for outcomes after pediatric cardiac arrest, yet rescuer ergonomics and bed height may adversely affect compression quality and fatigue. This randomized crossover simulation study will evaluate how four different bed-height settings influence pediatric CPR quality and rescuer biomechanics. Pediatric emergency medicine residents will perform 2-minute chest-compression-only CPR on a pediatric manikin placed on a hospital bed under four bed-height conditions in randomized order across separate sessions. CPR quality metrics from the manikin's feedback system, rescuer fatigue, physiologic responses, and arm angle over time will be compared to identify an ergonomically optimal bed-height approach.
