Objectives

• Participants will
• discuss implementation of at least one scenario
  in their program.
• demonstrate care of one of the following
  scenarios septic appy, traumatic brain injury or
  respiratory distress.
• identify one topic of lecture material that now
  can be covered with simulation.

Gaining Initial Faculty Support

• Identified Champions
• Interested faculty, ignored negatrons
• Technology savvy
• TIME
• Willing
• START SMALL

6
Expanding Faculty Support

• Positrons
• When can we start
• Open to looking at PNCI
• Discuss implementation
• Scheduling calendar

• Negatrons
• Cant give up time
• Wont use this for clinical time
• No value
• Rather have them in the hospital

• Neutrons
• Responded to gentle pushing
• Guarded interest
• Curious

Pediatric Simulations

• Began small with one clinical group
• Septic Appy
• Revised for current San Diego standards
• Meropenum
• PCA verses Morphine as needed
• Place NG tube but in reality, this would be
  placed in OR
• COMMUNICATION

8
Current Pediatric Simulations

• Septic Appy
• Respiratory distress in 2 week old
• Modified from newborn as these students are on
  med-surg floor
• Brain injury
• Ped ICU students

Roles for Simulation

• Primary Nurse
• Second RN
• Charge RN
• Family member
• Recorder
• Observer
• Computer operators
