Pediatric Emergency Medicine Simulation Curriculum: Bacterial Tracheitis

Introduction Pediatric bacterial tracheitis is a rare but life-threatening upper airway infection with mortality rates estimated as high as 20%, typically affecting children between 6 months and 12 years old. Given such high mortality rates, we felt it was important to train medical personnel to eva...

Given such high mortality rates, we felt it was important to train medical personnel to evaluate and manage this condition. Methods This simulation-based curriculum was developed for health care professionals involving the evaluation and management of an 8-year-old male with symptoms of fever, stridor, worsening barking cough, and increased work of breathing. Critical actions included identifying stridor and airway respiratory distress; monitoring and supporting airway, breathing, and circulation; administering racemic epinephrine and dexamethasone; and identifying and treating bacterial tracheitis as the underlying cause. Scenario-specific debriefing tools were put together to elicit scenario feedback and aid in formative learning. Results The scenario was conducted with six fellows and 12 residents and medical students. Per the survey data, the case was rated as highly relevant (median = 5) and highly realistic (median = 5) by participants on a 5-point Likert scale. Discussion Pediatric bacterial tracheitis is a low frequency, but high-risk scenario that was amenable to simulation as an educational modality and was well-received by participants. The debriefing tools were implemented as a means of helping instructors customize the scenario for learners based on respective educational backgrounds and learning styles.Vaidehi PidapartiAshley KeilmanJennifer CaseAnita ThomasAssociation of American Medical CollegesarticleTracheitisPediatricsEmergency MedicineStridorNurse/Nurse PractitionerPhysicianMedicine (General)R5-920EducationLENMedEdPORTAL, Vol 16 (2020)
