When the AAMC pediatric emergency team
faced the daunting task of resuscitating a
five-pound infant, there was no room for
error. Communication and cooperation
among the nurses, doctors and technicians
had to be spot-on.
Coordination like that comes down to training as a team.
Fortunately for the children who come through our doors, the
Pediatric Emergency Department team members have been
practicing their critical care skills with high-tech simulators
unavailable to most community hospitals. That translates to
the best care for your child.
Thanks to a generous donation from the Jess Carson Foundation,
AAMC contracted with the Johns Hopkins Hospital simulation
training laboratory. Together, they developed a customized
program for pediatric emergency care.
During simulation training, doctors, nurses and technicians
work in teams to “treat” lifelike manikins while physician trainers
throw emergency scenarios at them. The manikins “tell” doctors
Michael Clemmens, M.D.,
and nurses Ashley Abel,
Michele Bynum,
Adriane Breck,
and Teresa
Swift recreate
their pediatric
emergency
training scenario.
