Amy Dearsley from Laerdal Melbourne spent two days in Mildura installing new additions to the Simulated Learning Environment and training key staff in their correct use.
Scenarios which are used in teaching sessions cover a range of situations including, for the Sim New Born, Resuscitation with Positive-Pressure Ventilation and Chest Compressions, Resuscitation with Positive-Pressure Ventilation and Endotracheal Intubation and Care of the Infant with Asthma for SimNewB.
The new scenarios for the sim baby covered areas including Care of the Infant with Asthma, Pediatric Nasogastric Tube Insertion for SimBaby and Management of the Child with a Bradycardic Episode.
The range of new scenarios will add substantially to the learning opportunities provided by the sim lab.
