Automated external defibrillators have improved survival for adult in hospital cardiac arrest. Automated external defibrillators are approved for children aged 1 year and older for out of hospital cardiac arrests. It is unknown whether automated external defibrillators have a role for in hospital pediatric cardiac arrests.
The purpose of study is to compare the management of cardiac rhythm disorders by pediatric residents using an automated external defibrillator versus a standard defibrillator in simulated pediatric cardiac arrests.
It is our hypothesis that residents using an automated external defibrillator will have a shorter time to defibrillation.

1: Experimental
Pediatric residents randomized to having an automated external defibrillator
|
Device: Automated external defibrillator
Residents randomized to this group had an automated external defibrillator available for the simulated cardiac arrest. The automated external defibrillator did not actually discharge energy into the simulated patient
|
2: Active Comparator
Pediatric residents randomized to having a manual defibrillator
|
Device: Manual defibrillator
Residents randomized to this group had a manual defibrillator available for the simulated cardiac arrest. The defibrillator did not actually discharge energy into the simulated patient.
