Simulated Pediatric Resuscitation Team Training

“Putting PALS into practice”

This course creates realistic, dynamic, pediatric emergency situations that require health care personnel to apply their knowledge of PALS guidelines, while utilizing technical and clinical decision-making skills in their response as a team. The target audiences are emergency department and intensive care teams.

Faculty with expertise in pediatric resuscitation and simulation training, will guide participants through repeated scenarios where they can practice these skills using principles of crisis resource management and then immediately debrief as a team with videotapes.

 

Objectives:

  • Recognize the unique healthcare needs and challenges of caring for children while collectively serving pediatric patients and their families.
  • Work together with colleagues to improve team response.
  • Identify cognitive, technical, and behavioral skills necessary to execute appropriate responses to critical medical events.
  • Practice these skills in a realistic simulated environment that simulates the dynamic nature of the clinical setting in which each team practices.
