Smart Checklist for Pediatric Endotracheal Intubation
(SMART PICU Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of the study is to implement a patient-provider dyad tailored, Electronic Health Record (EHR)-informed, digitized Smart Checklist as a Quality Improvement (QI) intervention to support bedside clinician teams to reduce Adverse Airway Outcomes (AAO) across 6 diverse pediatric intensive care units (ICUs).
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.
Is the Smart Checklist for Pediatric Endotracheal Intubation safe for use in humans?
Checklists, like the Smart Checklist, are generally considered safe and are used to improve patient safety by ensuring all necessary steps are followed during medical procedures. They help reduce errors and improve communication among medical staff, which can lead to safer outcomes for patients.12345
How is the Smart Checklist for Pediatric Endotracheal Intubation different from other treatments for pediatric intubation?
The Smart Checklist for Pediatric Endotracheal Intubation is unique because it provides a structured approach to ensure all necessary steps are followed during the procedure, improving safety and efficiency. Unlike other treatments, it focuses on standardizing care and reducing errors through a systematic checklist, which is not a common feature in traditional intubation methods.14678
