MUSM Rural Health Provider Simulation Workshop

Demonstrate a systematic approach to the assessment and initial stabilization of a pediatric patient with respiratory compromise, including oxygen delivery and airway support. Recognize early signs of four types of pediatric shock: hypovolemic, distributive, cardiogenic, or obstructive. Apply the Neonatal Resuscitation Program algorithm to manage a newly born infant requiring resuscitation using appropriate assessment and interventions according to current NRP standards. Initiate basic pediatric mechanical ventilation using a Hamilton ventilator, accurately selecting initial settings based on patient presentation. Perform a pre-sedation assessment that includes patient screening, risk stratification, and safety planning.
