Development of an interprofessional simulation-based in situ training program in paediatric emergencies

      Purpose of the study: Traditional residency training may not provide sufficient learning opportunities to develop competence in essential clinical skills.

      Assessing procedural skills training in pediatric residency programs.
      On the other hand, repetitive deliberate practice involving medical simulation is associated with improved learner outcomes.

      Simulation-based training (SBT) not only results in improved practical performance,

      but also has the potential to improve patient outcome.

      • Annich G.
      Simulation-based mock codes significantly correlate with improved pediatric patient cardiopulmonary arrest survival rates.
      Thus, we have implemented and evaluated a simulation-based in situ emergency training program aiming at physicians and nursing staff of a tertiary paediatric centre.
