Table 4.

Errors and deviations from the American Heart Association (AHA) pulseless ventricular tachycardia (pVT) algorithm with respect to defibrillation and drug factors.

Defibrillation and drug factors	Guiding Pad app (n=13), n (%)	PALS^a pocket cards (n=13), n (%)
Correct number of shocks (N=52)	51 (98)	51 (98)
Error in shock or drug doses (N=78)	1 (1)	11 (14)^b
pVT rhythm recognition (N=52)	51 (98)	19 (37)^c
Correct AHA sequence (n=13)	12 (92)	3 (23)^d

^aPALS: pediatric advanced life support.

^bDifference between Guiding Pad app and PALS pocket cards groups: P=.005 (Fisher exact test).

^cDifference between Guiding Pad app and PALS pocket cards groups: P<.001 (Fisher exact test).

^dDifference between Guiding Pad app and PALS pocket cards groups: P=.001 (Fisher exact test).
