MGH Learning Laboratory

Ended: April 1, 2019

Each week the multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses and respiratory therapists in the pediatric intensive care unit participates in in situ, simulation-based team training exercises to improve their ability as a team to successfully manage critical events that occur in the PICU. Emphasis is placed on improving the team’s ability to promptly recognize a crisis, provide appropriate medical management, and effectively apply the principles of crisis resource management. Each 20 minute simulated event is followed by a 40 minute team debriefing facilitated by a simulation expert with a background in pediatric critical care medicine.
