Standardized Extubation and High Flow Nasal Cannula Training Program for Pediatric Critical Care Providers in Lima, Peru

Introduction Acute lower respiratory tract infections are the top cause of nonneonatal mortality in children under 5 years of age. Since many resource-limited settings lack basic pediatric respiratory support modalities, introducing respiratory technology in these settings may improve survival. Unfo...

Methods We aimed to create training modules for implementation of a standardized extubation process and high flow nasal cannula for physician and nurse providers at a tertiary care center in Lima, Peru. This training curriculum combined a didactic lecture with hands-on practicum and clinical case discussion over multiple sessions spanning a year. We created all materials in English and translated to Spanish for use. Participants completed evaluations after the training program to determine whether objectives were met.

Results A total of 76 providers (12 attending/fellow critical care physicians, 40 bedside nurses, eight pediatric residents, and 14 medical technicians) participated in this multiday training. Almost all (75, 99%) participants felt the objectives were clearly stated, and 70 (92%) felt objectives were met.
