Abstract
Objective: We aimed to describe the differences in workload between team leaders and CPR
providers during a simulated pediatric cardiac arrest, to evaluate the impact of a CPR feedback
3
device on provider workload, and to describe the association between provider workload and the
quality of CPR.
Methods: We conducted secondary analysis of data from a randomized trial comparing CPR
quality in teams with and without use of a real-time visual CPR feedback device.(1) Healthcare
PT
providers (team leaders and CPR providers) completed the NASA Task Load Index survey after
participating in a simulated cardiac arrest scenario. The effect of provider roles and real-time
RI
feedback on workload were compared with independent t-tests.
SC
Results: Team leaders reported higher levels of mental demand, temporal demand,
U
higher physical workload. CPR providers reported significantly higher average workload
N
(control 58.5 vs. feedback 62.3; p=0.035) with real-time feedback provided compared to the

group without feedback. Providers with high workloads (average score >60) had an increased
M
percentage of time with guideline-compliant CPR depth versus those with low workloads
Conclusions: Healthcare providers reported high workloads during a simulated pediatric cardiac
TE
arrest. Physical and mental workloads differed based on provider role. CPR providers using a
EP
CPR feedback device reported increased average workloads. The quality of CPR improved with

Introduction
Pediatric patients suffering from in or out of hospital cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA)
require optimal management for the best possible outcomes.(2-6) In 2015, the European
Resuscitation Council and the American Heart Association released new guidelines with an
increased focus on quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), emphasizing high quality chest
PT
compressions (CC) as a critical component of an effective resuscitation.(7-9) Guideline-
RI
compliant CC, with optimal rate, depth and recoil, is infrequently achieved by even the most
highly trained providers.(5, 10-12) Recent research has shown that CPR feedback devices can
SC
assist healthcare providers in delivering higher quality CPR, which may lead to improved patient
outcomes.(5, 10, 12-17) These devices vary, with some providing audiovisual feedback, visual
U
feedback or hemodynamic-directed feedback; but all require the attention of one or more
N
healthcare providers during the resuscitation. Information from the feedback device or system

consequences, which may include increasing the workload of healthcare team members.
Workload can be defined as a “hypothetical construct that represents the cost incurred by a
EP
human operator to achieve a particular level of performance.”(18) High workloads have been
CC
scoring tool that includes six subscales: mental demand, physical demand, temporal demand,
performance, effort and frustration.(24) These 6 dimensions of workload were chosen after an
exhaustive analysis of key features which define the workload experience of different people
performing a wide array of activities. The first three subscales of the survey represent demands
5
that are imposed on the participant, while the performance, effort and frustration subscales result
from the interaction of the participant with the task.(25) Since its original publication in 1988,
the settings in which this scale has been used, with psychometric properties described, have
expanded from the laboratory setting and the aviation industry to the military and, most recently,
PT
to the medical community.(23, 26, 27)
The workload of the various members of a resuscitation team during cardiac arrest is
RI
unknown. It is also unclear how the level of workload affects the critical tasks within a
SC
resuscitation, including the provision of high quality CPR. Lastly, the impact of implementing a
CPR feedback device on provider workload has been unexplored. In this study, we aim to: (1)
U
determine if the workload of team members differs based on provider role, (2) determine the
N
impact of a CPR visual feedback device on provider workload, and (3) describe if physical
A
workload of CPR providers is associated with quality of CPR during simulated pediatric cardiac
M
arrest.

controlled trial evaluating the impact of a real-time visual CPR feedback device on CPR quality
during a simulated pediatric cardiopulmonary arrest.(1) Institutional review board approval was

secured at all sites, with informed consent from all participants. The study was designed,
conducted, and reported based upon published guidelines for simulation-based healthcare

research.(28, 29)
Study Participants
6
Participants included residents, fellows, physicians, nurses and nurse practitioners who
were recruited from 10 children’s hospitals. Teams of three included two participants who were
assigned the role of CPR providers, responsible for providing CC, and one participant who was
assigned the role of team leader. All providers were certified in BLS, PALS or ACLS within the
PT
past two years. Specific inclusion and exclusion criteria can be found in the original publication
(CPRCARES study).(1)

Outcome measures
SC
Participant perceptions of workload were collected via the NASA-TLX survey. NASA-
TLX scores are reported on a 0-100 scale for each domain, with scores of <40 reported as “low”
U
and >60 considered “high” in similar environments.(24, 26) This survey was completed after the
N
simulated CPA event and before any discussion or debriefing. CPR quality data was collected
A
from the CPR feedback device (CC depth and rate). CC depth was measured as the proportion of
M
CC during each 12 min simulated CPA with depth ≥ 50mm and CC rate was measured as the
Primary Outcome Measure: NASA-TLX average score (mean scores of all 6 dimensions)

Study Procedures
Randomization
CC
Participants were randomized by team (of three participants) into one of four study arms.
Two of these teams received real-time feedback during CPA and the other two teams received no
A
feedback during CPA. Two of the study arms also received a “Just-It-Time” (JIT) training video
just prior to CPA. All groups practiced CPR for two minutes on the manikin used in the study
7
prior to the CPA scenario. Randomization was stratified by study site and conducted in blocks
Interventions
PT
utilizes accelerometer technology to display and record the depth and rate of CC when placed on
the middle of the chest. The card provides visual feedback in real-time via light emitting diodes
RI
(LEDs) for both CC rate (three LEDs set at rates of < 100, 100-120 and > 120 compressions per
SC
minute) and depth (a stack of LEDs set at depths of <40 mm, 40-50mm for infant, 50-70mm for
child or adult on a hard surface and >70mm for child or adult on a soft surface).

15-minute pediatric septic shock scenario followed by a 10-minute debriefing and completion of
the NASA-TLX survey; (3) A 12-minute pediatric simulated cardiopulmonary arrest scenario (a

The feedback card was taped to the center of the manikin’s chest for all study arms.
LED lights were then covered by black tape for groups who received no visual feedback. We

strictly standardized the critical elements of the simulation across all sites to reduce potential
with a detailed scenario script, a standardized clinical environment with identical availability and
location of equipment across all recruitment sites, and confederate actors playing the
standardized roles of respiratory therapist and medication nurse. All actors received intensive
8
training prior to study commencement, which resulted in a very high degree of compliance with
the pre-scripted actors roles (both of whom were not permitted to perform CPR).(30) All
institutions utilized the same pediatric manikin (SimJuniorTM, Laerdal Corporation: spring
constant 4.46kg/cm; 22.3kg of force required to press to 5cm; maximum compression depth of
PT
7cm), calibrated for CPR training. The manikin was also placed on a hard stretcher with no
RI
Finally, we conducted a centralized review of all study videotapes to ensure compliance with all
SC
components of our standardized methodology.
Sample Size
U
The sample size was calculated for the primary study, measuring the effect of real-time
N
CPR feedback on the quality of CPR during simulated CPA, and was determined to be 108 teams

(27 per study arm).10 As this study is a secondary analysis of exploratory data collected as part of
M
the main study, we used the initial sample size calculation as a convenience sample for this
study. Two arms (54 teams) received real-time feedback and 2 arms (54 teams) received no
D
feedback. The sample allows us to detect a medium effect size (cohen’s d = 0.54) with a
TE
Statistical Analysis
All data analyses were completed using statistical software (SPSS Statistics 21; IBM
A
Corporation). Demographic characteristics were presented with descriptive statistics (count and
percentage). To evaluate the effect of provider roles on workload, average scores and scores for
6 dimensions of NASA TLX survey between team leader and CPR providers were compared
with independent t-tests for group with and without real-time feedback. To evaluate the impact
9
of real-time feedback on workload, mean average scores and scores of 6 dimensions of NASA-
TLX survey were compared with independent t-test for both team leader and CPR providers. In
addition, a two-way factorial analysis of variance was done to explore the interaction between
role (CPR provider versus team leader) and real-time feedback on workload. Finally, the
PT
association between the quality of CPR and average workload was assessed for CPR providers
only. An average workload score of 60 was used as the cut point to evaluate the percentage of
RI
time with proper CC rate and the percentage of time with adequate depth. No definitive cut-off is
SC
universally used in the literature to define “high workload”. However, with the NASA TLX scale
ranging from 0 to 100, a cut-off of 60 has been used in similar environments to represent “high”
U
reported workloads and is consistent with high workloads reported in a variety of other

Discussion
11
Pediatric resuscitations are complex and time-sensitive endeavors that require optimal
performance from all involved to produce the best possible outcomes. These tightly orchestrated
events involve intricate management, multi-tasking, resource allocation and re-allocation, and
timely decision-making, placing providers at high risk for task overload. Little is known, or has
PT
been reported about, provider workload during cardiac arrest events.
The results from this study highlight the potential differences in workload based on
RI
provider role. Although it may not be surprising that team leaders reported higher mental
SC
workloads and lower physical workloads than CPR providers in these simulated pediatric cardiac
arrest scenarios, it is notable that CPR providers still reported high mental workloads with all
U
groups reporting subscale scores >60. Differences in workload by provider role have also been
N
reported after a simulated pediatric sepsis resuscitation.(35) In this previously published work,
A
team leaders reported higher average workloads than team members (51 vs 43.8, p<0.001) and
M
higher mental demand than team members (73.4 vs 59.8, p<0.001). Although team members in
the sepsis study also reported higher physical demand than team leaders (28.6 vs 17.9 p<0.001),
D
they reported notably lower physical demand and effort than in this study when CPR was
TE
required. This finding suggests that we should have a heightened awareness of the physical
EP
demands placed upon CPR providers, and consider implementing strategies (e.g. more frequent
cardiopulmonary resuscitation. There are concerns, however, when adding new technology into
A
an already complex, highly stressed environment. Our study is the first to report on the impact of
these devices on the subjective workload reported by the healthcare providers. Interestingly, the
use of real-time feedback seemed to increase workload across all domains. Comparison of the
12
differences between these groups, however, found only effort (a response to the question “How
hard did you have to work to accomplish your level of performance?”) and average workload to
be statistically significant. Also notable, the use of real-time feedback seemed to decrease the
workload for the team leader in most domains, suggesting that feedback devices may reduce the
PT
need for team leaders to monitor CPR quality, thus reducing workload. This has potential
implications on overall team performance, as increased workload has been associated with a
RI
higher risk of error and decreased performance of both cognitive and procedural tasks.(19, 34)
SC
Therefore, decreasing the overall workload of team leaders may free up cognitive space for them
to address other clinically important tasks. It is also important to weigh the potential impact any
U
new technology may have on workload against the improvements that may result from this
N
technology. This is evident when discussing the increased CPR provider workload and the
A
improvements noted in CPR quality with the use of a feedback device. Ultimately, gathering
M
information about the impact new technology has on workload may allow for optimization and
Finally, the average reported workload was found to be higher among those providers
TE
that produced better average depth during compressions, suggesting that CPR feedback devices
EP
have a motivating effect on most CPR providers, leading to better quality compressions. This
result also suggests that poor quality CPR noted in many other cardiac arrest studies may be due,
CC
in part, to lack of provider effort, and less so due to other variables such as prior training, and
We found that teams that had visual feedback tended to have higher reported frustration
levels especially by the team members. This can be an important finding as the use of these
feedback devices becomes more widespread. Many teams commented that they “didn’t believe”
13
the feedback they were receiving from the device. Without directly addressing this concern,
team members performing chest compressions may not adjust their CPR technique, thus leading
to poor quality. The European Resuscitation Council and the American Heart Association have
increased the recommended depth of compressions with every recent update.(7, 9, 37-40)
PT
Despite the requirement for yearly recertification of CPR skills, the quality of CPR during
pediatric cardiac arrest is often suboptimal. Our results suggest two important considerations:
RI
(1) implementation of CPR feedback devices should be accompanied by orientation to the
SC
device, and training on the device, so that providers are confident in the quality of feedback they
receive; and (2) providers should be prepared to exert themselves harder during CPR when CPR
U
feedback devices are in use.
N
There are limitations with this study. The resuscitation team in our scenario consisted of
A
one team leader, two team members, and two confederates (acting as a respiratory therapist and
M
nurse). Team members were therefore required to perform CPR as well as other tasks (i.e. give
medications, operate the defibrillator). As this is just one possible team composition, it is
D
possible that workload would vary with other team structures. These results are also based upon
TE
the use of one particular device, a visual feedback device placed on the chest wall, and may
EP
therefore not be generalized to other devices, such as those with audiovisual feedback or those
operated through a defibrillator. These results are also obtained in a simulated resuscitation and
CC
There are also possible limitations regarding the use of the NASA-TLX. Although it is a well-
A
validated and often utilized instrument, it is still a subjective evaluation of provider workload.
Also, the cardiac arrest scenario was run second after a pediatric sepsis scenario. As the
providers had already completed the survey once, it is possible that they may have been
14
anticipating this second survey leading to decreased attention or changes in their responses due
to comparisons with the sepsis case. Furthermore, this is a sub-analysis of data, and it therefore
may be underpowered to detect small differences within the groups. Finally, this study was done
on a child-sized manikin. It is unclear how an adult sized patient or manikin would have
PT
changed the required and reported effort of participants.
RI
Conclusion
In this study, we identified differences between team leaders and team members in
SC
reported perceived workloads during simulated pediatric cardiac arrest. The implementation of a
real time visual CPR feedback device increased the perceived workload reported by team
U
members. CPR providers who reported very high physical demand improved their CPR quality
N
compared to those providers reporting lower workloads. Further study is needed to describe the
A
variation of workload utilizing different feedback devices and team compositions.
