AR decision support grabs clinician gaze
Distribution of visual attention amongst clinicians using an augmented reality-based decision support system during simulated cardiac arrest – A descriptive study
Resuscitation Plus · Added 18 August 2026
Secondary analysis of a pediatric cardiac arrest simulation trial found AR-based decision support captured 42-59% of visual attention with distinct role-specific fixation patterns among team leaders and medication nurses
- Study type
- Simulation
- Design
- Descriptive secondary analysis of simulation RCT intervention arm with eye tracking
- Participants
- 9 paediatric resuscitation simulation sessions
- Main finding
- AR components captured 41.9% (team leaders) and 59.0% (medication nurses) of visual attention; attention outside predefined areas was 46.0% and 22.9% respectively
- Caveat
- Descriptive analysis of only nine simulation sessions; no outcome data
- Bottom line
- Hypothesis-generating
Why it matters in Australia (Medium relevance). transferability — Small simulation study (9 sessions) provides insight into how AR cognitive aids might affect attention, though pediatric in-hospital setting limits direct relevance
Learning goal
Strengthen my understanding of how visual attention divides during paediatric resuscitation when using digital decision support.
