Simulation-based Procedural Skills Maintenance Training for Neonatal- Perinatal Medicine Faculty
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction: Some procedures in neonatal-perinatal medicine are rarely performed in day-today clinical practice. Relying on clinical exposure alone to maintain procedural competency in those skills may be inadequate. Simulation-based training provides an option to practice these rarely performed procedures in order to maintain competency. Here, we report the preliminary results of a simulation-based procedural skills maintenance curriculum for neonatal-perinatal medicine faculty. Methods: Based on a needs assessment survey, we identified several procedures that faculty neonatologists believed would benefit from simulation-based maintenance training. During a two hour simulation session, faculty were divided into small groups and rotated through four separate procedural skills stations: pericardiocentesis, electrocardioversion, defibrillation, and exchange transfusion. Using a collaborative learning model, each group worked as a team to practice the procedural skills. Preand post-session surveys were used to evaluate the educational impact of the sessions on both self-perceived knowledge and procedural competency. Results: Participants reported significant improvements in self-perceived procedural competency in three of the four procedural skills. The majority of participants reported feeling more confident in their ability to perform the procedures after participation in simulation. The overall quality of the event was rated as 'good' or 'very good' by all participants. All participants 'agreed' or 'strongly agreed' that they learned something new during the simulation session. Discussion: Simulation-based maintenance training for rarely performed procedures in neonatal-perinatal medicine is feasible, and was associated with improvements in self-perceived competency amongst neonatal faculty members. Based on these early results, further investigations are planned. Categories: Medical Simulation, Medical Education, Pediatrics

Use of Simulation in Canadian Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Training Programs
Introduction Simulation is used for the delivery of education and on occasion assessment. Before such a tool is used routinely in neonatal training programs across Canada, a need assessment is required to determine its current usage by accredited training programs. Our aim was to characterize the type of simulation modalities used and the perceived simulation-based training needs in Canadian ne...
متن کاملSimulation Training to Maintain Neonatal Resuscitation and Pediatric Sedation Skills for Emergency Medicine Faculty.
BACKGROUND Neonatal resuscitations and significant adverse cardiorespiratory events during pediatric sedations are infrequent. Thus, it is challenging to maintain the skills necessary to manage patients experiencing these events. As the pediatric emergency medicine specialty expands, exposure of general emergency medicine physicians to these potentially critical patients may become even more li...
متن کاملLearn, see, practice, prove, do, maintain: an evidence-based pedagogical framework for procedural skill training in medicine.
Acquisition of competency in procedural skills is a fundamental goal of medical training. In this Perspective, the authors propose an evidence-based pedagogical framework for procedural skill training. The framework was developed based on a review of the literature using a critical synthesis approach and builds on earlier models of procedural skill training in medicine. The authors begin by des...
