N2 - Pediatric codes are rare events that require fast intervention from medical professionals to resuscitate a child. A pediatric code cart contains all medications and equipment immediately needed to complete a pediatric resuscitation, but not all health care professionals (HCPs) know what is located on the cart and where. A mobile, augmented reality (AR) application was created to improve this knowledge. Ten participants performed a timed search on the cart while wearing Tobii Pro eye tracking glasses before and after exposure to the application. Also, a survey to assess participants’ confidence using the code cart was administered before and after exposure to the application; the post survey also contained usability and satisfaction scales. The results showed that performance and confidence improved after using the application, and that the application usability is acceptable. Our findings suggest the application is useful for improving knowledge and efficiency while working with a pediatric code cart.
