Core Skills Training
Managing Pediatric Drowning
In this multiplayer open scenario, EMS personnel arrive on the scene to find the boy’s father actively performing CPR. To stabilize the patient, paramedics must swiftly initiate BVM ventilation, connect the patient to a cardiac monitor, secure IV access, and administer appropriate medications. Advanced airway management will be required, necessitating intubation to ensure the patient’s airway is effectively maintained. 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
