Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Pediatric Critical Care

Background:

  • Millions of pediatric visits occur annually in US emergency departments (EDs), primarily in community settings.
  • Pediatric simulation-based training is effective but limited in community EDs due to high costs and expert access.
  • Existing simulation resources are often concentrated in academic hospitals, creating a gap in community ED preparedness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a free, open-access, "off-the-shelf" simulation-based training resource for community EDs.
  • To improve the readiness of community EDs in triaging, resuscitating, and transferring critically ill infants and children.
  • To assess the perceived value and effectiveness of the simulation resource through participant and facilitator feedback.

Main Methods:

  • Designed the "American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) SimBox," a low-technology manikin-based training kit with supporting materials.
  • Distributed 179 ACEP SimBoxes to community EDs across 36 states between January 2018 and December 2019.
  • Collected pre- and post-simulation survey data from facilitators and participants to measure opinions on the training and its impact.

Main Results:

  • The ACEP SimBox was successfully implemented in numerous community EDs nationwide.
  • Facilitators and participants found the simulation sessions valuable and sufficient for learning, utilizing low-technology manikins with institutional equipment.
  • All participants reported increased commitment to pediatric readiness within their ED after the training.

Conclusions:

  • The ACEP SimBox is an innovative, cost-effective solution to enhance pediatric readiness in community EDs.
  • This accessible simulation tool can be widely distributed and implemented to improve critical care preparedness for pediatric patients.
  • The initiative demonstrates the feasibility of developing and deploying simulation-based training to address critical needs in diverse healthcare settings.
