Abstract

Key Points Question Does the use of a tablet application cognitive aid reduce deviations from American Heart Association (AHA) resuscitation guidelines and improve the management of pediatric cardiac arrest? Findings In this randomized clinical trial including 300 participants in 100 teams, the use of an interactive tablet application led to fewer deviations from AHA guidelines and better team performance compared with use of the AHA pocket reference card or no cognitive aid. Meaning This randomized clinical trial found that the use of the cognitive aid tablet application improved adherence to resuscitation guidelines, thus demonstrating promise for improving patient outcomes, although further studies are necessary to confirm these findings and demonstrate its impact in clinical practice.
