Core Skills Training
Anaphylaxis Management
As part of this multiplayer open scenario, the learner will reach the scene as part of the EMS team. When the EMS arrives, the patient is complaining of throat tightness. The learner will monitor the patient’s vitals and start the patient on IM epinephrine in the left lateral thigh. Five minutes later a second dose is administered to stabilize the patient.
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.
All necessary affordances are provided to complete the procedure with efficiency.
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
