Learning Gains Derived from a High-fidelity Mannequin-based Simulation in the Pediatric Emergency Department

並列摘要


There are limited data on the effectiveness of mannequin-based simulations in pediatrics. This study developed a training program using a high-fidelity child mannequin to simulate critical cases in an emergency department, and examined the learning gains derived from this simulation. Eighteen pediatric residents, as pairs, participated in a high-fidelity simulation pretest, training session and a posttest. The training session, developed based on participants' pretest performance, included videotape review, feedback, and hands-on practice, and focused on the improvement of management skills for shock and tachydyspnea. The pre-and posttest performances were scored for task-specific technical skills and behaviors. The learning gains between the pre- and posttests were significant (p<0.001) for task-specific technical skills (from 64±15% to 93±4%) and behaviors (from 65±18% to 85±12%). This study suggests that high-fidelity simulation can enhance learning about how to manage critical cases in the pediatric emergency department.
