Pediatric Emergency Medicine Didactics and Simulation (PEMDAS): Outside Medical Emergency Team Response

Le résumé fourni par la source

The United States' Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act applies to individuals who present within hospital grounds. Thus, emergency preparedness is essential outside the hospital and on campus grounds. This technical report describes a novel simulation-based curriculum for pediatric emergency residents, fellows, and attendings responding to medical emergencies outside the hospital but on campus grounds. This curriculum highlights the importance of effectively responding to emergencies on hospital grounds outside the pediatric emergency department. The simulation-based curriculum was conducted at two pediatric emergency departments and involved pediatric emergency medicine fellows and attendings. Simulation participants were prompted to complete a post-simulation survey. The survey results demonstrated that participants felt that this simulation curriculum was relevant to their work and that they felt more confident in their ability to respond to an out-of-hospital emergency after participating in the simulation curriculum.
