Summary
A randomised controlled simulation trial comparing augmented reality glasses displaying adapted AHA Paediatric Advanced Life Support guidance with conventional PALS pocket reference cards among paediatric residents managing a simulated pulseless ventricular tachycardia arrest. Outcomes were time to first defibrillation and other critical resuscitation endpoints, plus deviations from guideline-directed drug and shock dosing. AR glasses did not shorten time to defibrillation or other endpoints but were associated with fewer defibrillation dose errors. Of interest to PICU teams considering decision-support technology and simulation-based resuscitation training.
