    Pediatric cardiac arrest (CA) cases are significant, with approximately 20,000 in-hospital and 7,000 out-of-hospital cases annually in the US.

  • 2

    Survival rates for pediatric CA remain low, with less than 46% for in-hospital and less than 16% for out-of-hospital cases.

  • 3

    Traditional decision support tools often fail to enhance team coordination during resuscitation, leading to increased cognitive load and communication failures.

  • 4

    The InterFACE-AR system provides role-specific, real-time guidance to improve adherence to AHA PALS guidelines during simulated pediatric IHCA.

  • 5

    A randomized clinical trial evaluated InterFACE-AR's effectiveness, focusing on time to epinephrine administration and adherence to resuscitation guidelines.
