Pediatric Boot Camp Series: Longitudinal Care for a Child With Asthma-From the Emergency Department to Outpatient Clinic.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Childhood asthma is a major source of worldwide morbidity and mortality. Successful management requires a broad spectrum of skills. Given the prevalence, medical students should be proficient in evaluating and managing asthma, including the acute treatment of an exacerbation through the maintenance phase.

Methods

We used a high-fidelity simulation case of a 2-year-old boy presenting to the emergency room in respiratory distress to let medical students practice the assessment and management of a patient in status asthmaticus. Small-group, case-based discussions combined with provider/parent role-playing facilitated building a framework for addressing the medical management and social aspects of asthma control. Large-group discussions and review of national asthma
