Pediatric Emergency Management

Picture
Course description:
The Pediatric Emergency Management course is designed for nurses working with the pediatric population.  It is an immersive four hour class focusing on the identification of signs and symptoms of a pediatric patient who is deteriorating, timely and effective management, Team STEPPS communication techniques, utilization of resources, and review of organizational specific policies and procedures.  The course format consists of a didactic portion followed by realistic simulation scenarios and interactive debriefing sessions.  Simulation scenarios are developed to be specific to the organization's patient population and identified learning objectives and/or needs. 

Objectives:
1.     Recognize, respond, and initiate interventions for early signs and symptoms of deterioration in a pediatric patient
2.     Identify potential complications based on mechanism of injury and injury patterns
3.     Demonstrate use of resources related to age-specific care
4.     Complete systems-based 5 minute physical exam
5.     Integrate data from medical record to complete assessment and impact decision-making
6.     Incorporate effective communication methods and team

Participant Responses:
  • Hands-on learning and reviewing keeps up knowledge and skills.
  • Simulation and actual "doing it" is more useful than lecture.  It makes it real.
  • Interactive and sharing of information was helpful.
  • It was helpful to get clarification on some clinical issues.
