Many paediatric residents in New Zealand lack adequate paediatric resuscitation training and knowledge. Improved regular training and courses like Advanced Paediatric Life Support are needed to enhance child resuscitation standards.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Paediatric Emergency Medicine
  • Clinical Skills Assessment

Background:

  • Paediatric resuscitation requires specialized knowledge and skills.
  • Assessing the competency of junior medical staff is crucial for patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the training and knowledge of paediatric resuscitation among paediatric residents in New Zealand.
  • To identify gaps in paediatric resuscitation competency.

Main Methods:

  • A validated national telephone survey was conducted.
  • Interviews were completed with 96 out of 109 paediatric residents.

Main Results:

  • A significant proportion of residents had limited recent paediatric resuscitation training.

  • Knowledge gaps were identified regarding adrenaline dosage and trauma management.
  • While fluid selection was good, infusion rates were often suboptimal.
  • Higher scores correlated with paediatric qualifications and greater experience.

    • Conclusions:

    • Many junior paediatric staff demonstrate inadequate preparation for paediatric resuscitation.
    • Regular, improved training, including Advanced Paediatric Life Support (APLS) courses, is recommended.
    • Auditing the effectiveness of APLS courses is necessary to ensure improved standards.
