Research Article: Just-in-Time, Just-in-Place Virtual Training in the Pediatric Emergency Department: A Novel Approach to Impact the Perfusion Exam

Date Published: 2023-08-18

Abstract:
Timely and accurate rapid cardiopulmonary assessments (RCPA) is a crucial initial step in recognizing and managing patients presenting in shock, which is often under-recognized in pediatrics., Though the Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) course provides trainees with a structured and standardized approach to the assessment of shock, it has not translated to sustained optimal performance of these skills. At our institution, Sobolewski et al found that senior pediatric residents do not promptly nor thoroughly perform an initial RCPA on actual patients in the resuscitation area despite it being an expectation. In this historical cohort, (.%) of senior residents assessed via video review completed any component of the perfusion exam and (.%) of verbalized their assessment of perfusion. Experience and repetition of clinical assessments have been shown to improve exam skills; but pediatric residents have limited clinical opportunities to apply them in patients at risk for or in shock.,
