  • Research summary

    Title: NEURO-PACK- a mixed methods study exploring the design and usage of a clinical prediction tool for neuro-developmental outcome after cardiac arrest in children admitted to paediatric intensive care.

    Aim: To co-design, with input from staff and parents/carers, a clinical prediction tool (CPT) with communication aids, and to review outcome assessment tools of CPT success in a future clinical trial.

    Study population:
    1) Senior healthcare practitioners (senior trainees, advance nurses, consultants) who manage post-cardiac arrest care in UK PICUs
    2) Parents of children experiencing post-cardiac arrest management recruited into NEUROPACK Observational Study and parents of children in Paediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU) experiencing similar conditions involving significant prognostic uncertainty.

    Method: A questionnaire survey and focus groups with PICU staff, interviews with parents and carers, and a final stakeholder workshop to present prototype CPT design.

    Planned study period: 12 months
