Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a new CPR training program can improve the quality of CPR for healthcare providers, compared to the traditional training method. The study will also assess whether the new program is more cost-effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pediatric healthcare providers, including nurses and physicians, working in the Emergency Department at Alberta Children's Hospital. They must be certified in Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), or Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) within the last two years.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing a new CPR training program that includes longitudinal practice with real-time feedback against traditional methods. The goal is to see if this improves CPR quality and cost-effectiveness over a year-long period.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, there are no direct physical side effects expected from participating in the different CPR training programs.
