Use of the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia’s Pedi Crisis 2.0 Mobile Application as an Educational Assessment Tool for Pediatric Anesthesiology Fellows: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Multicenter Study
Authors' conclusion
Pediatric anesthesiology fellows were significantly more successful at describing the management of pediatric critical events when using the Pedi Crisis 2.0 application compared to not using the application.
Study context
- Population
- Pediatric anesthesiology fellows from four institutions6 excluded, improperly randomized
- Participants
- 51 participants
- Comparison
- Answering critical event scenarios using the Pedi Crisis 2.0 application vs without the application
- Primary endpoint
- Average percentage of correct answers to open-ended questions on management of 10 pediatric critical event scenarios (stems)
Methodological detailsprospective, multicentre, blinded reviewers, within-participant randomisation of stems
- Prospective
- Multicentre
- Blinded reviewers
- Within-participant randomisation of stems
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Total percentage of correct scores
Total percentage of correct scores
Stems 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
- Application vs Without application: P < 0.0001 — for both stem sets
Further findings

| Percentage of correct answers for individual stemsApplication vs Without application | P < 0.05 |
Percentage of correct answers for individual stems
- Varied by stem; application scores always statistically higher
