Tips for the use of simulation to maintain competency in performing high-risk/low-frequency procedures
Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing
|April 10, 2015
Summary
Simulations offer a safe environment for educators to maintain procedural skills competency. Practicing high-risk, low-frequency skills in simulations ensures learners can perform procedures effectively when infrequent clinical opportunities arise.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Healthcare Simulation
Background:
- Maintaining competency in procedural skills is crucial for healthcare professionals.
- High-risk/low-frequency (HR/LF) skills require specialized training methods due to limited clinical exposure.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the value of simulations in maintaining procedural skill competency.
- To emphasize the role of simulations in preparing learners for HR/LF skills.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing simulation as a controlled educational environment.
- Facilitating the practice of HR/LF skills in a safe setting.
Main Results:
- Simulations provide a safe and controlled setting for skill maintenance and evaluation.
- Learners benefit from discerning critical information through HR/LF skill simulation.
Conclusions:
- Simulations are an effective tool for ensuring learner competency in procedural skills.
- HR/LF simulations are essential for preparing healthcare professionals for rare but critical procedures.

Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned...

Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway...

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is a life-saving emergency procedure performed when a person's heart has stopped beating or they are no longer breathing. The foundation of CPR is Basic Life Support (BLS), which focuses on the early recognition of cardiac arrest, the immediate start of high-quality chest compressions, and the timely use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).Assessing Responsiveness and Checking the Carotid PulseWhen approaching an unresponsive person, first ensure...
