G274(P) Simulation Training - Transition from Straight to Pigtail Catheter Chest Drain (PCCD) Insertion

Abstract: Aims Neonatal trainees are infrequently exposed to chest drain insertion due to reduced working hours and low prevalence of pneumothoraces. Procedure performance assessment during simulation using cadaveric models is more effective than traditional clinical education methods. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of simulation training in teaching PCCD insertion using rabbit carcasses on a tertiary neonatal unit (NICU), in terms of both meeting British Thoracic Society (BTS) competencies and improving participant’… Show more
