Official title
Defibrillation by Automated External Defibrillators Versus Manual Defibrillators in Simulated Pediatric In-Hospital Cardiac Arrests: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial of Pediatric Residents
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Automated external defibrillators have improved survival for adult in hospital cardiac arrest. Automated external defibrillators are approved for children aged 1 year and older for out of hospital cardiac arrests. It is unknown whether automated external defibrillators have a role for in hospital pediatric cardiac arrests. The purpose of study is to compare the management of cardiac rhythm disorders by pediatric residents using an automated external defibrillator versus a standard defibrillator in simulated pediatric cardiac arrests. It is our hypothesis that residents using an automated external defibrillator will have a shorter time to defibrillation.
