Summary

This pilot study tests a program called Heartsight, which provides educational modules to caregivers of children who have had a cardiac arrest. The goal is to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, and whether it can reduce caregivers' uncertainty, anxiety, depression, and stress. Up to 30 caregivers of children under 17.5 years old who had a cardiac arrest lasting at least 2 minutes are being enrolled.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
an education program called Heartsight
What this could lead to
If effective, Heartsight could offer a simple way to ease anxiety and depression in caregivers of children after cardiac arrest.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study testing feasibility, not effectiveness. The program may not reduce distress in a larger trial.
