“…PREP Boot Camp was implemented in July 2018 as an intense educational onboarding experience for all post-graduate year 2 (PGY2) resident physicians rotating through the inpatient pediatric pulmonology service at Children's Hospital Colorado (CHCO). 10 During PREP, PGY2 residents participated in an interactive lecture followed by a case-based simulation session (SIM #1) covering common emergent scenarios that are known to occur in pediatric inpatients with tracheostomies and ventilators such as accidental decannulation, tracheostomy mucus plugging, hypoxemia, and cardiorespiratory arrest. 11 The New World Kirkpatrick's training evaluation model was used to determine the impact of this curriculum.…”

“…Studies have shown that standardized training for medical staff related to routine tracheostomy cares improves bedside provider comfort level. [9][10][11] However, there is no standardized recommendation for instruction and training of tracheostomy cares for prevention of common complications. One study showed that more than 50% of hospitals transferring tracheostomy-dependent patients from intensive care units (ICU) to ward teams lacked standard training for medical staff members and only 6% had guidelines in place for common complications such as accidental decannulation.…”

“…In response to these concerns, we implemented the Pediatric Resident Education in Pulmonary (PREP) Boot Camp, an intense educational program for resident physicians on the pediatric pulmonary ward team, with the goal to enhance resident comfort level in routine tracheostomy cares and equip them with contingency planning in the event of common tracheostomy-related complications. 10,11 This study evaluates the impact of PREP on pediatric residents' observed skills and tracheostomy-dependent patient outcomes.…”

IntroductionChildren with tracheostomies are high risk for morbidity and mortality. Pediatric resident physicians are not routinely taught skills to care for this vulnerable patient population. Few reports link educational interventions to improved patient outcomes. This study evaluates the impact of an intensive educational training program on pediatric residents' observed skills and tracheostomy‐dependent patient outcomes.MethodsPediatric post‐graduate year 2 (PGY2) resident physicians rotating through the inpatient pediatric pulmonology month at Children's Hospital Colorado July 2018–2019 participated in the Pediatric Resident Education in Pulmonary (PREP) Boot Camp, an intensive educational program with an interactive lecture and simulation experience on patients with tracheostomy‐dependence. PGY2s who partook in PREP and PGY3s who rotated before PREP initiation were invited to be studied. Primary outcomes included: (1) resident skills assessed by direct observation during simulation encounters and (2) rates of intensive care unit (ICU) transfers in tracheostomy‐dependent patients following acute events before and after introduction of PREP. We hypothesized that increased education would enhance resident skills and improve patient outcomes by decreasing the rate of ICU transfers.ResultsPGY2 residents retained skills learned during PREP up to 11 months following initial participation, and significantly outperformed their PGY3 counterparts. There was a significant decrease in ICU transfer rate in patients with tracheostomies admitted to the pulmonary team during the 19 months following initiation of PREP.ConclusionsEnhanced early education may improve resident physicians' ability to care for complex patients with tracheostomies and could improve outcomes in this high‐risk population.

Introduction: Children with tracheostomies are high risk for morbidity and mortality. Pediatric resident physicians are not routinely taught skills to care for this vulnerable patient population. Few reports link educational interventions to improved patient outcomes. This study evaluates the impact of an intensive educational training program on pediatric residents’ observed skills and tracheostomy-dependent patient outcomes. Methods: Pediatric post-graduate year 2 (PGY2) resident physicians rotating through the inpatient pediatric pulmonology month at Children’s Hospital Colorado July 2018-2019 participated in the Pediatric Resident Education in Pulmonary (PREP) Boot Camp, an intensive educational program with an interactive lecture and simulation experience on patients with tracheostomy-dependence. PGY2s who partook in PREP and PGY3s who rotated prior to PREP initiation were invited to be studied. Primary outcomes included: 1) resident skills assessed by direct observation during simulation encounters and 2) rates of intensive care unit (ICU) transfers in tracheostomy-dependent patients following acute events before and after introduction of PREP. We hypothesized that increased education would enhance resident skills and improve patient outcomes by decreasing the rate of ICU transfers. Results: PGY2 residents retained skills learned during PREP up to 11 months following initial participation, and significantly outperformed their PGY3 counterparts. There was a significant decrease in ICU transfer rate in patients with tracheostomies admitted to the pulmonary team during the 19 months following initiation of PREP. Conclusions: Enhanced early education improves resident physicians’ ability to care for complex patients with tracheostomies and improves outcomes in this high-risk population.
