Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to determine if a new device is more effective in fluid administration than devices currently used when resuscitating pediatric patients in septic shock. This study will take place in a simulation lab setting and will not include the use of patients.
Detailed Description
In this study, participants will be randomized to one of three devices in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit simulation setting. Each participant will be provided the device, a 1L NS bag, tubing and a 22g IV. In each scenario, the objective will be to administer 3 20cc/kg boluses within a 15 minute period to the simulated patient.

Inclusion Criteria
- •Pediatric emergency medicine or pediatric intensive care unit nurses, pediatric residents, medics and attendings.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Inability to operate equipment due to illness or physical impairment.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Successful Administration of 60 mL/kg
Time Frame: 20 minutes
Participants will be timed to determine if they are able to administer 60 mL/kg of fluid within a 20 minute timeframe. This outcome will be measured as a dichotomous 'yes' or 'no' as to whether the task was completed successfully. The initial registered primary outcome was changed from 60 cc/kg in 15 minutes to its current format before the study began.
Secondary Outcomes
- Time to Complete Fluid Administration(Up to 20 minutes)
- NASA Task Load Index (TLX)(15 minutes)
