Simulation-based mock codes significantly correlate with improved pediatric patient cardiopulmonary arrest survival rates*

Abstract

This study suggests that a simulation-based mock code program may significantly benefit pediatric patient CPA outcomes-applied clinical outcomes-not simply learner perceived value, increased confidence, or simulation-based outcomes. The use of mock codes as an integral part of residency programs could provide residents with the resuscitation training they require to become proficient in their practice. Future programs that incorporate transport scenarios, ambulatory care, and other outpatient settings could further benefit pediatric patients in prehospital contexts.

Impact of Just-in-Time and Just-in-Place Simulation on Intern Success With Infant Lumbar Puncture

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] However, few multicenter data exist characterizing the impact of simulation training at the patient level, especially in pediatrics. [11][12][13][14][15] Our previous single-center study demonstrated that using simulation to train residents to a minimal standard could improve their clinical success with infant LP. 16,17 However, similar educational programs tested in other environments have not shown any improvements in clinical LP performance.…”

Kurzdarstellung

“…Die Implementierung eines Teamtrainingsprogramms führte zu einer verbesserten Krankenhausüberlebensrate nach Reanimation bei Kindern sowie chirurgischen Patienten [935,936]. Die Leistung von Reanimationsteams verbessert sich in realen Reanimationen, aber auch in simulierten ALS-Krankenhausszenarien, wenn spezielle Team-oder Führungstrai-nings in die ALS-Kurse integriert werden [937][938][939][940][941].…”

“…The implementation of a simulation-based mock code program has been associated with improved survival from actual cardiopulmonary arrest-with a correlation between survival and the annual incremental increases in the number of mock codes. 20 Quoi de neuf en réanimation pédiatrique?

“…La mise en oeuvre d'un programme de faux codes d'alerte pour des simulations a été associé à l'amélioration de la survie dans les cas véritables d'arrêt cardiorespiratoire, avec une corrélation entre le taux de survie et l'augmentation progressive du nombre de faux codes d'alerte au cours de l'année. 20 …”
