PediAppRREST

PediAppRREST is an interactive, multimodal (audio-visual), “checklist” app, sequentially displaying prompts on recommended pediatric cardiac arrest management interventions with a step-by-step approach. It is specifically designed to guide the team members to perform resuscitation interventions in the sequence/timing and modality reported by the American Heart Association Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) 2020 guidelines.

Key Features:

Timely Guidance: Each screen provides precise information for every step of the algorithm, reducing the load on the team leader's working memory. Intuitive Design: Sequential actions are presented vertically, while alternative choices are organized horizontally for easy navigation. Multichannel Communication: Visual and acoustic cues enhance user experience, making critical information more accessible. Smart Countdowns: Stay on track with a 2-minute rhythm check, medication countdowns, and a metronome for compression rate guidance. Quick Access: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) buttons provide instant summaries for high-quality CPR and post-ROSC management. Shockable vs. Non-Shockable Rhythms: The app adapts pathways based on cardiac rhythm, assisting with shock delivery and medication administration. Algorithm Recap: Check progress anytime with the "Algorithm button" to see completed steps according to AHA 2020 PALS guidelines. Airway Management and Reversible Causes: Prompted actions include managing the airway effectively and searching/treating reversible causes. Audio Assistance: Receive audio prompts for each action, guiding you through the resuscitation process.

Development Insights: User-Centered Design: Crafted through an iterative design approach for user-centricity. Evidence-Based Content: Grounded in evidence, ensuring reliability and effectiveness. Log Function: Sequentially saves user actions for documentation purposes. Explore PediAppRREST's functionality seamlessly, supported by a robust design process.
