Detailed regulations in Department of Medical Simulation:
What are we going to do during the classes ?
We will run together high-fidelity medical simulation scenarios in pediatrics. So You are going to be the team member (always a physician, not a nurse) who is going to work on the Emergency Department / Medical Unit at the Childrens' Hospital. The students are going to act as the medical team members with the child with some severe complaints in a real time. After the scenario You are going to discuss the case with Your tutor. This is called 'debriefing' and it is constructed as the positive (not negative) emotional feedback. After the scenarios we will conclude our effords and look for future perspectives in Your medical education. During the whole day we are going to run five-six scenarios with full debriefing.
What do You need for practical classes:
- read/repeat the knowledge in topics listed below
- wear an apron
- bring Your stethoscope
- change the schoes
- tie Your hair
Topics for practical classes in pediatrics – medical simulation:
- Asthma.
- Dysrhythmias in children (atrioventricular block, tachycardia, fainting, long QT)
- Fever, seizures, status epilepticus, sepsis.
- Congenital heart disorders (transposition of the great arteries, ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, Tetralogy of Fallot))
- Congenital metabolic disorders (congenital adrenal hyperplasia, congenital hypothyroidism).
- Cerebral edema
- Foreign body in digestive tract
Obligatory textbook:
Tom Lissauer and Will Carroll, Illustrated Textbook of Paediatrics, 5th Ed. Elsevier 2017.
The presentations, lectures and knowledge from practical classes in all departments of pediatrics would be useful.
Non-technical skills:
You will need SBAR protocol for communication with Your consultant:
PARENTS protocol - for communication with parents:
Assessment of non-technical skills:
Scheme of the day:
1. Short test before the classes (see topics above)
2. Detailed regulations during high-fidelity medical simulation.
3. Simulators and medical equipment.
4. Medical scenario.
5. Debriefing, discussion, conclusions.
We are going to run five-six scenarios of high-fidelity medical simulation in pediatrics during the day.
Yes, a small break in the middle :)
Novelties in this Year
- control lists will be available for students (in English), but remember about confidentiality rule
- summary of the conclusions from each scenario for students in written
- at the end of the day the group can get the honest assessment of their actions from the tutor (on request)
Intoduction to the simulation room and high-fidelity pediatric simulator (remember to turn on the subtitles :))
