Advanced Pediatric Emergency Airway Management: A Multimodality Curriculum Addressing a Rare but Critical Procedure

Introduction Advanced airway management in pediatrics is a rare, high stakes skillset. Developing proficiency in these skills is paramount, albeit challenging. Providers require innovative approaches to address initial training and maintenance of procedural competency. To address this, we developed...

Developing proficiency in these skills is paramount, albeit challenging. Providers require innovative approaches to address initial training and maintenance of procedural competency. To address this, we developed a multimodality curriculum. Methods Through an interactive problem-based learning session utilizing real intubation videos, hands-on skill stations, and two simulation-based scenarios, participants advanced through educational objectives towards the goal of improving perceived comfort, knowledge, skills, and attitudes in emergency pediatric advanced airway management.

Results We have conducted the curriculum in its entirety four times, reaching 131 interdisciplinary participants. Forty-nine physicians of varying training backgrounds and clinical working environments completed postparticipation evaluations. On a Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), a significant improvement in perception of comfort with managing the emergent pediatric airway was noted (2.7 to 4.6, p < .0001).
