Observational Study
Identifying incidents of suboptimal care during paediatric emergencies-An observational study utilising in situ and simulation centre scenarios.
Life threatening paediatric emergencies are relatively uncommon events. When they do occur staff caring for these children must have the ability to recognise the deterioration, evaluate and simultaneously treat these patients. The aim of this study was to identify suboptimal care during standardised simulated scenarios and to identify the potential causation factors. ⋯ During standardised paediatric simulations multiple incidents of suboptimal care have been identified and multiple causation factors attributed to these. Educators should use this information to adapt current training programs to encompass these factors.
