%X <B>OBJECTIVE: </B>Simulation plays an important role in cardiopulmonary resuscitation training. Comparing postsimulation debriefing with rapid cycle deliberate practice could help determine the best simulation strategy for pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation training among pediatric residents.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>This is a single-blind, prospective, randomized controlled study. First- and second year pediatric residents were enrolled and randomized into two groups (1:1 ratio): rapid cycle deliberate practice group (intervention) or postsimulation debriefing group (control). They participated in two rounds of simulated pediatric cardiopulmonary arrest to assess the simulated pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation performance gain (round 1) and retention after a 5-6 week washout period (round 2). Scenarios were video-recorded and analyzed by blinded evaluators. The main outcome was the time to initiation of chest compressions. Secondary outcomes included time to recognize a cardiopulmonary arrest, time to recognize a shockable rhythm, time to defibrillation, time to initiation of chest compressions after defibrillation, and chest compression fraction.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>Sixteen groups participated in the first round and fifteen groups in the second one. Time to intiation of chest compressions decreased from preintervention scenario to the round 1 testing scenario and increased from round 1 to round 2 testing scenario. However, no interaction effects nor group effects were observed (p=0.885 and p=0.329, respectively). There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding the secondary outcomes.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>Despite an overall improvement in simulated pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation performance, we did not observe significant differences between the two groups regarding the analyzed variables. The decline in simulated pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation performance after 5 weeks suggests the need for shorter time intervals between training sessions.
