Respiratory Distress in the Pediatric ED: A Case-based Self-directed Learning Module.

ABSTRACT:

Audience

Emergency medicine residents, pediatric residents on an EM rotation.

Introduction

Emergency medicine residents are expected to recognize and treat patients of all ages and diseases of all varieties, yet most education and training is focused on the adult patient. Exposure to pediatrics is generally integrated into training across all years of residency, but time spent in the pediatric emergency department is still a small portion of resident education. This module aims to enhance the ability of the emergency medicine residents to recognize and treat respiratory distress in children, one of the most common presenting chief complaints in the pediatric population, by integrating the concepts of case-based learning, self-directed learning and self-testing.
