Simulated Pediatric Rapid Response Team Training

“Early recognition of a child’s deteriorating condition”

This course creates realistic, dynamic, potential pediatric emergency situations requiring health care personnel to perform pediatric assessments and apply initial basic life support interventions. Participants will apply their knowledge of pediatric assessment and response in order to stabilize pediatric patients until appropriate help can be summoned. The target audiences are medical-surgical staff and rapid response or code blue teams.

Faculty with expertise in pediatric assessment and resuscitation, and simulation training, will guide participants through repeated scenarios where they can practice rapid response skills to meet the goals of the course, 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.
  • Apply pediatric assessment skills to recognize a child’s deteriorating condition.
  • Utilize effective communication to summon help early.
  • 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 participant practices.
