Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
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.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
1
Pediatric residents randomized to having an automated external defibrillator
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
Pediatric residents randomized to having a manual defibrillator
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.
