Cardiac Arrest
In this scenario the learner experiences the sudden cardiac arrest of a newborn baby. They will recognize which neonates require resuscitation and demonstrate and preform the critical initial steps of neonatal resuscitation in a timely manner. The learner will discuss the weight-based protocols for the neonatal patient. They will recognize the role of an interprofessional team during the resuscitation as well as discuss the possible outcomes.
RSV
In this scenario on Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), the learner will identify the scientific basis for treatment recommendations based on the current science guidelines. They will be prompted to perform high-quality BLS. They will evaluate a seriously ill or injured child by utilizing the pediatric systematic approach. The learner will recognize and perform early management of respiratory distress and failure in a pediatric patient as well as demonstrate adjunct techniques to support and assist with respiratory stability of a pediatric patient in respiratory distress or failure. They will discuss the appropriate treatment for each type and severity of illness/injury category in a simulated session and model effective communication and behavior as a member of a high-performance team.
Trauma
This trauma scenario outlines the secondary survey and identifies controversies in pediatric and infant shock due to trauma. The learner will identify and manage the correct sequence of priorities to be used in assessing and managing the pediatric trauma patient. The learner will integrate the initial and detailed assessment. The scenario will allow for a discussion on the most common injuries prevalent by pediatric age groups in Iowa.
