Audience: This simulated automated chest compression device was designed for use in simulation cardiacarrest cases involving emergency medicine residents, but it would be applicable to other learners such asnurses, pharmacists, and medical students.Background: Automated chest compression devices (ACCD) are commonly utilized in cardiac arrest in theemergency department and by emergency medical services (EMS) as patients arrive in the ED.1 Prolongedsimulated cardiac arrest can be challenging to maintain proper chest compression depth and technique.2Resident learning may be enhanced during cardiac arrest in the simulation environment by implementing theuse of a simulated ACCD.Educational Objectives: By the end of this educational session using a resuscitation trainer or high-fidelitymanikin, learners should be able to:1. Recognize appropriate application of simulated ACCD to an ongoing resuscitation case2. Demonstrate proper positioning of simulated ACCD in manikin model3. Integrate simulated ACCD to provide compressions appropriately throughout cardiac arrest scenarioEducational Methods: We developed a cost-effective simulated ACCD for use in resuscitation simulationcases. An initial pilot session identified components of fidelity that were used to model the simulated ACCDafter those utilized in clinical situations. Three simulated devices were created and then tested for efficacyduring high-fidelity simulation with 25 emergency medicine residents.Research Methods: Visual analog scales were used to explore how the simulated ACCD affected perceivedrealism and stress level during the cardiac arrest simulation. Qualitative data were collected through open-ended learner feedback comments. The institutional review board at our institution reviewed this projectand determined that it was exempt.Results: With inclusion of the simulated ACCD device, learners rated the simulation "more realistic" with anaverage rating of 74/100 and "less stressful" with an average rating of 69
