Background:
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) required innovative training strategies for emergent aerosol generating procedures in intensive care units. This manuscript summarizes institutional operationalization of COVID-specific training, standardized across four intensive care units.
Methods & Results:
An interdisciplinary team collaborated with the Simulator Program and OpenPediatrics refining logistics using process maps, walkthroughs and simulation. A multimodal approach to information dissemination, high-volume team training in modified resuscitation practices and technical skill acquisition included instructional videos, training superusers, small-group simulation using a flipped classroom approach with rapid cycle deliberate practice, interactive webinars, and cognitive aids. Institutional data on application of this model are presented.
Conclusion:
Success was founded in interdisciplinary collaboration, resource availability and institutional buy in.
