ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new support system called InterFACE-AR, designed to help medical teams during cardiac arrest situations. The goal is to see if this system, which uses augmented reality (AR) devices and screens to provide specific prompts and information to team members, can improve how well they follow important resuscitation guidelines. Current tools, like reference cards and apps, can be confusing and slow down response time, but InterFACE-AR aims to simplify this process and help teams work more efficiently together.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be healthcare professionals, such as attending physicians, residents, or nurses, who work in areas like emergency medicine or pediatrics and have trained in basic life support. Participants will be involved in simulated cardiac arrest scenarios where their performance will be assessed using the new system. It's important to note that individuals who do not want to provide consent, have previously participated in the study, or cannot complete the necessary tasks for their role will not be eligible. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but it promises to enhance how emergency teams respond to life-threatening situations.
