“When in Doubt, Change It out”: A Case-Based Simulation for Pediatric Residents Caring for Hospitalized Tracheostomy-Dependent Children

Introduction Caring for technology-dependent children, such as those with tracheostomy and ventilator dependence, can be new and frightening for pediatric residents. Education about emergencies in this patient population is important because these children are at risk for in-hospital complications....
