Randomised trials in emergency settings must quickly confirm eligibility and allocate participants to an intervention group without delaying treatment. We report rapid randomisation during two neonatal resuscitation trials using the non-commercial REDCap platform accessed via smartphone. This simple, reliable method has wide applicability for trials in emergency settings. What is Known: • Randomised trials in emergency settings need to rapidly allocate participants to an intervention group. • This process should not delay treatment. What is New: • This non-commercial, smartphone-accessible application enabled rapid, accurate randomisation at the bedside. • This has broad applicability for emergency setting trials.
在紧急情况下进行的随机试验必须迅速确认资格,并将参与者分配到干预组,而不延误治疗。我们报告了使用通过智能手机访问的非商业性 REDCap 平台在两次新生儿复苏试验中进行快速随机化的情况。这种简单可靠的方法对于紧急情况下的试验具有广泛的适用性。 已知: • 在紧急情况下进行的随机试验需要迅速将参与者分配到干预组。 • 此过程不应延迟治疗。 新内容: • 该非商业性的、可通过智能手机访问的应用程序能够在床边实现快速、准确的随机化。 • 这对于紧急情况试验具有广泛的适用性。
