The purpose of this quality improvement project was to implement an educational intervention involving High-Fidelity Simulation (HFS) with deliberate practice for low-frequency, high-impact events in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), with the goal of improving nurses' crisis management skills. ⋯ Regular in-situ simulation training with deliberate practice can improve nursing comfort with managing high-impact, low-frequency events in the PICU. This could lead to improved management of actual events, especially for novice nurses with less than one year of PICU experience.
