Project Title: Standardized communication during in-hospital resuscitation (SCORE)

Goal of study: To investigate whether use of standardized communication can improve Chest Compression Fraction compared to closed-lop communication during simulated pediatric CPR. Multicenter, randomized, parallel group, single-blind, superiority, simulation study.

Role: Co-Investigator

PI: Tensing Maa and Akira Nishisaki

Project Title: Prevention of errors in acute conditions in kids (PEAK II)

Goal of study: Our objective is to perform a multicenter study of simulation respiratory failure in a pediatric patient in order to characterize the variability between institutions for management of respiratory failure in terms of 1) Time to achieve effective ventilation by applying bag-mask ventilation, performing suction and inserting oral or nasal airway, 2) Types of errors made in relation to bag-mask ventilation for respiratory failure management (in particular, bagmask ventilation). 4) Data regarding system, patient or staff safety issues related to respiratory failure that are discovered during the in-situ simulation

Role: MPI
