Bronchiolitis Simulation Module in the Pediatric Preclerkship Educational Exercises (PRECEDE) Curriculum.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Acute bronchiolitis is a viral infection infecting 90% of children under the age of 2 years, with approximately 200,000 deaths per year. The current standard of care remains largely respiratory support and prevention. Therefore, understanding how to assess and escalate respiratory supportive care is paramount for health care providers taking care of children.

Methods

We used a high-fidelity simulator to simulate an infant with progressing respiratory distress in the setting of acute bronchiolitis. The participants were pediatric clerkship medical students during their preclerkship educational exercises (PRECEDE). The students were asked to evaluate and treat the simulated patient. After debriefing, the students repeated the simulation. We assessed both performan
