The investigators will look at how accurate pediatric healthcare workers are at judging quality of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, by observation of the chest compressions, and if they are more accurate at a certain position near the patient. The investigators will do this by having participants fill out a survey about the quality of the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in several recorded resuscitation scenarios.
Pediatric cardiac arrest leads to significant productive years lost, and has a huge emotional impact on families and caregivers. High quality CPR is the most important predictor for outcome in cardiac arrest. Human visual observation is commonly used and important to evaluate CPR quality. Interestingly, the accuracy of healthcare providers' visual assessment of CPR quality is unknown.
Primary Objective: To determine the accuracy of visual CPR assessment. Secondary Objective: 1) To identify the optimal position relative to the patient for accurate CPR assessment. 2) To determine health care practitioners' accuracy in identifying CPR errors.
Methods: We will videotape both good quality CPR and poor quality CPR in a simulated resuscitation. We will record 4 videos, one depicting high quality CPR, and 3 depicting the most common mistakes made when performing chest compressions, and these will be videotaped from the foot, head and side of the patient. Pediatric acute care professionals will be recruited to watch a randomized set of all 12 video clips, and fill out a brief and simple questionnaire on their assessment of the quality of the CPR being performed.
To assess the accuracy of the CPR quality, quantitative data on the quality of the CPR being performed during each of the 4 videotaped events will be captured and confirmed using a Laerdal CPRcard© (depth and rate) and the paediatric simulator SimJr© (recoil).

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pediatric Acute Care Professionals | Experimental | Individuals must work in ER or ICU setting regularly or rotate through this setting with up to date BLS/PALS/ACLS certification. The participants will be required to rate the CPR based on accuracy for each video shown. The type of CPR error(s) shown to the individuals will be randomized. |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The type of CPR error(s) shown to the individual | Behavioral | Participants will be randomly assigned 12 videos to watch and rate the CPR quality of each. Investigators will be blind to the identity of the participants. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Proportion of healthcare providers who are accurate in their visual assessment of CPR quality. | Data is anticipated to be presented 4 months after it is collected. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
