Critical Cardiopulmonary Event Series: Four Simulations for Pediatric ICU Fellows, Critical Care Nurses, and Pediatric Residents.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Critical cardiopulmonary events arising from congenital or acquired heart diseases are infrequent in some pediatric critical care units but can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality when encountered. We developed four simulation cases for interprofessional pediatric critical care teams (fellows, residents, and nurses) to provide participants with high-acuity cardiopulmonary scenarios in safe learning environments. The included cases were coarctation of the aorta, Kawasaki disease, myocarditis, and tetralogy of Fallot.

Methods

The simulations were typically 15 minutes in duration and took place within the pediatric intensive care unit. The scenarios began with handoff of the patient to the primary nurse, who recruited the assistance of resident p
