• Human factors influence quality and outcomes of CPR.1

• One of the most consistent human factor limitations is failure to identify leader


Background

Lack of a defined leader role delays care and impairs communication in resuscitation.2


Background

1. Identified leader role will improve the effectiveness of medical response and team performance

2. Profession of the leader(Physician or Nurse) will affect team performance


Hypotheses

• P : Resuscitation caregivers

• I : Identified leader role (physician or

nurse)

• C: No Identified leader role

• O: Time to BVM; Time to Compressions;

Time to IV medications; Team

Performance3


PICO Question

• Scenario: Infant in respiratory distress.

• Randomization: 4-person resuscitation team to Intervention or Control

• Intervention- identified leader

• Control- no identified leader


Approach / Design

• Time line: q1 month simulations × 24

months@ local sim center

• The scenarios will be video recorded.

• Data collection: observed times, scores

on team performance scale3


Approach/Design

1. Primary Outcome: Time to BVM

2. Secondary Outcomes: Time to

compressions, time to IV medications

and team performance


Outcomes

1. Feed back on the design.

2. Looking to make into a multicenter

study.

3. For possible granting agencies.
