Abstract Objective: To educate physician trainees using simulation on best management of children with autism spectrum disorder who have neurocognitive and behavioral challenges when experiencing acute illness. Method: A simulation-based curriculum including baseline assessment, communication techniques, use calming resources was developed to residents in assessing sensory barriers. Traditional deliberate practice were used teach this second- third-year pediatric internal medicine-pediatric...
OBJECTIVES To describe the quality of pediatric resuscitative care in general emergency departments (GEDs) and to determine hospital-level factors associated with higher quality. METHODS Prospective observational study provided 3 situ simulated patients (infant seizure, infant sepsis, child cardiac arrest) by interprofessional GED teams. A composite score (CQS) was measured association this modifiable nonmodifiable explored. RESULTS median CQS 62.8 100 (interquartile range 50.5–71.1) noted...
Paediatric cardiopulmonary arrest resuscitation is a critically important skill but infrequently used in clinical practice. Therefore, knowledge relies heavily on formal training which vulnerable to rapid decay. We evaluate and retention post-training using cycle deliberate practice (RCDP).Pilot, non-blinded, single-arm study.Pediatric Simulation Center at Children's of Alabama.42 paediatric residents large, tertiary care, academic children's hospital were enrolled this simulation-based...
The impact of booster training on pediatric resuscitation skills is not well understood. Rapid cycle deliberate practice (RCDP) to supplement advanced life support (PALS) beginning be used improve skills. We tested the RCDP performed at 9 months after initial residents.This study evaluated a 9-month PALS compared with usual debriefing (plus/delta) an session for PALS-certified interns.All interns single institution were invited 45-minute their certification. performance score and times key...
Background Delayed or inadequate cardiopulmonary resuscitation during arrest is associated with adverse outcomes in pediatric patients. Therefore, a “First Five Minutes” program was developed to train all inpatient acute care nurses skills. The focused on steps take the first 5 minutes. Objective To improve response of bedside personnel few minutes emergency. Methods A simulation-based situ educational that components American Heart Association’s “Get With Guidelines” recommendations....
Our hypothesis was that pediatric residents and medical students who participated in a structured forensic evidence collection course would have improved knowledge of prepubertal practices pubertal genital anatomy.The curriculum included video created by the sexual assault nurse examiner directors. After watching video, participants simulated using kits chain protocols hybrid simulation setting under supervision examiner. The completed multiple-choice test fill-in-the-blank anatomical...
Coaches improve cardiopulmonary (CPR) outcomes in real-world and simulated settings. To explore verbal feedback that targets CPR quality, we used natural language processing (NLP) methodologies on transcripts from a published pediatric randomized trial (coach vs. no coach CPR). Study objectives included determining any differences by arm (1) overall communication (2) metrics over minutes of (3) exploring frequencies temporal patterns according to degrees excellence.A human-generated...
To evaluate the knowledge of obtaining travel histories in medical students and interns.Medical interns participated a high-fidelity pediatric simulation with two cases (malaria or typhoid fever) that hinged on history. After simulation, appropriate methods were discussed. Participants completed surveys regarding their previous education comfort histories. If how history was obtained derived from observation.From June 2016 to July 2017, 145 trainees 24 sessions; 45% reported no prior...
This project was developed because residents need to gain knowledge and experience in promptly recognizing patients with suicidal ideation. Our study allowed pediatric interns the opportunity manage a simulated 16-year-old actively patient resident continuity clinic for well-child visit.During their first year, each receives simulation training. The scenario this involves use of standardized (SP). Sessions take place center are recorded observation review. scripted piloted ensure...
Early recognition of and prompt intervention for the deteriorating pediatric patient remains paramount in preventing cardiac arrests from occurring outside intensive care units. To decrease these events, we developed a three-part simulation-based blended learning course consisting computer-based training module, simulation scenario, follow-up situ scenarios inpatient nurses. After initiation course, our facility has seen number codes critical areas.
Abstract Pediatric advanced life support (PALS) training is critical for pediatric residents. It unclear how well PALS skills are developed during this course or maintained overtime. This study evaluated of interns using a validated performance score following their initial certification. All were invited to 45-minute rapid cycle deliberate practice (RCDP) session certification from July 2017 June 2019. The and times key events recorded participants prior RCDP training. We then compared...
Objectives We sought to determine if general emergency departments (GEDs) were managing pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) correctly and management could be improved using a multilayered educational initiative. hypothesized that multifaceted program of in situ simulation education formal feedback on actual patient would improve community GED DKA. Methods This study combined prospective simulation-based performance evaluation retrospective chart review. A outreach initiative was developed...
Background Regionalization of pediatric care in the United States was developed to improve by directing patients hospitals with optimal resources and experience, leading less pediatric-trained providers medically underserved areas. Children emergencies, however, continue present local general emergency departments (GEDs), where emergencies are low-frequency, high-risk events. Objective The goals this project were to: increase exposure GEDs southeast through simulation, assess clinical...
Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening compression of the heart due to accumulation fluid surrounding heart. It occurs in two out 10 000 people annually and universally fatal if not timely drained.1 The more rapidly occurs, quicker patient develops symptoms, including dyspnoea, fatigue chest pain.2 Vital sign changes include tachycardia, tachypnoea hypotension with narrow pulse pressure. Pericardiocentesis required treatment drain this improving cardiac output.3 Simulation an adjunct...

Nursing education focuses on nursing theory and the ability to perform tasks. There is a lack of related prioritization Therefore, new nurses transitioning into their roles sometimes struggle and, as result, leave units or, often enough, our facility. We developed Professional Success Program that includes cognitive exercises simulation scenarios assist these nurses. After utilizing program, facility has seen an increase in nurse retention.
