Pediatric Air Rescue: Seizure Care
Eight-year-old Ella Robinson has a history of epilepsy. While at school, she suffered a seizure and fell down the stairs. The teacher has given her the prescribed medication and called for EMS. EMS find Ella still seizing along with minor injuries from the fall. As medication does not control the seizures she must be transported to a healthcare facility for specialized treatment. EMS call for an air ambulance to assist with the transfer.
This open scenario VR simulation is designed to help learners identify, evaluate, and manage a case of pediatric seizure.
- Recognizing and responding to a seizure emergency
- Evaluating extent of injury and administering treatment
- Establishing and managing critical airway and IV access
- Administering emergency medication during active seizure

Core Skills Training
Managing Pediatric Seizure
As part of this multiplayer open scenario, the learner will find the patient in a seizing state and administer the appropriate dosage of medication to control the seizure and treat the injuries suffered due to the fall. As the seizure continues, showing no signs of improvement, the air ambulance will be called for to transfer the patient to a healthcare facility. En route, the patient may have to be intubated, depending upon the response to the medication. This scenario is set in a photorealistic environment and all necessary affordances are made available to assist learners in performing their tasks with efficiency and effectiveness.
Debriefing
End-of-task debriefing to assess one’s performance, evaluate actions, and get the most out of the training. Examples of topics being touched upon in the debriefing include the following:
- Thorough patient assessment
- Completion of necessary steps
- Correct medication administration to patient
- Sequential completion of task
- Execution of time-sensitive tasks
