PARTICIPANTS

The course is designed for 21 participants (Emergency Physicians and Paediatric Emergency physicians).

Objectives

To provide emergency physicians with the information necessary for safe sedation practice in paediatric emergency setting.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

 

 

This simulation-based sedation safety course appeared to enhance physician performance during procedural sedation. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/570942

The workshop focuses on providing physicians with theoretical knowledge and effective strategies to identify and treat sedation adverse events. The workshop includes a morning session and an afternoon session. The morning session is a formal tutorial starting with an interactive discussion on identification of sedation adverse events and intervention techniques. Simulation training is provided in the afternoon, in three sessions; two scenarios with the use of high-fidelity patient simulators, and one scenario with a human patient simulator (actress).
