Association of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) simulation program characteristics with simulated and actual performance during paediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest
Authors' conclusion
Point-of-care simulation characteristics were associated with both simulated and actual CPR performance.
Study context
- Population
- Multidisciplinary intensive care unit (ICU) staff in point-of-care CPR simulations; children 37 weeks post-conceptual age to 18 years receiving chest compressions in the ICU, October 2016–March 2021
- Participants
- 18,912 point-of-care simulations
- Comparison
- Characteristics of point-of-care CPR simulation training
Methodological detailspre-specified, prospective, multicentre, cluster randomized, 18 ICUs

Primary result
As reported in the abstract
- Site, participant discipline and timing of simulation training associated with both simulated and actual CPR performance
- Simulation characteristics not associated with survival with favourable neurologic outcome
Further findings
Top 3 vs bottom 3 sites for improvement in survival with favourable neurologic outcome
- Top 3 sites' participants more likely to have had a simulation in the past month, on a weekday day, to be nurses, and to achieve targeted compression depth and chest compression fraction goals in simulations
