Zerth, H., Harwood, R.,Tommaso, L., Girzadas, D.The Journal of Emergency Medicine, Vol. 43, No. 6, pp. 1066–1069, 2012doi:10.1016/j.jemermed.2011.05.066

• Annie Body• ET Tube Ribs• Jello filled

balloons• Shelf Liner Skin

Very Low End

• Do you draw pictures for patients?

Repurpose other “dolls”

Keep Technology in context

Technology should only be seen as a means to an end. The technology should not drive the

simulation center/lab, but rather instructional, training, assessment, and/or

curricular objectives should drive what technology is chosen, and how it is used.

Young, H.M., (2012) Tarleton State University.

Simulation Center Activities

Sim Center Mission

• Education• And re-education (remediation)

• Research• Institution-wide initiatives• Patient Safety• Collaboration and Consolidation

• Particularly between• Nursing Education and Physician Education• The various residencies and fellowships

• Interdisciplinary education remains an elusive but priority goal.

Standing Courses

• CPR (4000/year)• ACLS (1000/year)• PALS (250/year)• ATLS (75/year)• NRP (125/year)• CTC Activity (outside instructors and agencies)

• Approximately 9,000 cards/year

How much might you save the institution

if they currently send people out?

Lets MAKE a bunch of Money!

• Probably not• 7 Sim Centers in Philadelphia

• No one made more than $50K last year.

• Look out for other entanglements

• Stark Legislation• Are you a non-profit?

Educational TheoryWithout it, you’re just playing with dolls

Clear Learning Objectives

• What are our goals for this simulation?• Just signing an attendance roster isn’t enough!

• Don’t try to do too much• You can always cover more in the debriefing• Best Practices = 3-5 objectives

• Objectives should be measureable• How do you grade a back flip?

Objectives should match the learner

Nursing Orientation• Identify arrest• Call 6-911• Start CPR• Get the crash

cart into the room and position it properly

• Give report to the code team when they arrive

EM Interns • Start CPR• Ventilate

Appropriately• Defibrillate• Achieve

Vascular Access

• Give proper first round medications

EM Seniors • Advanced

Airway Placement

• Central Line• Rule out PEA

causes• Terminate

Resuscitation

Bloom’s Taxonomy

• Evaluation - creates new answers• Synthesis - understands other complex systems

and relates shock to them• Analysis - discuss the pathophysiology of shock• Application - recognize a pt in shock• Comprehension - restate in own words• Knowledge - definition of shock

Scaffolding

• Build upon existing structures

• 71 - 79 - 40489 - 4• Red light / Green Light• Prior Experience

• O2 Cylinders• Radio Dial

• Provide a Prior Experience• WAR STORIES

• Start with HOW TO USE THE SIMULATOR

Ken Murray

• Subconscious Incompetence• Don’t know what they don’t know

• Conscious Incompetence• Know what they don’t know

• Conscious Competence• Know what they know

• Subconscious Competence• Know without “thinking about it”

• Conscious Competence of Subconscious Incompetence• Know that they don’t know everything

Kirkpatrick’s 4 levels of evaluation

• Reaction, or student satisfaction• Smiley sheets

• Learning, or the ability to express knowledge• Pass tests

• Behavior, or a demonstrated change in job performance

• Improved work performance• Identified and filled an educational gap

• Results; demonstrates an effect on achieving important organizational goals

• Improved patient survival, Better HCAPPS scores

Expert Demonstration

• Particularly for task trainer work• Provides some orientation to the manikin and

equipment• Allows the learner to see the expectations• Answers many of the soft questions that the

learner has• Hones and clarifies the simulation during its

development• Could be a video (provides great consistency)

• But its not always as easy to shoot a video as it looks!

Erikson

• Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice• Repeat the same scenario 3 times in

30 minutes

• Pick up all those small procedural issues

• How to put the head of the bed down• Inflating the bag on non-rebreather

Safe Environment

• Confidentiality Agreements• All video erased at the end of each day• Collegial Environment• Its OK to make mistakes

• Better here than at the bedside

• Flight Simulation Analogy

No observers in Control RoomNo pictures

How many students?

• You can put 24 people in a Sim rooom, but……• Optimal = 4 or less

• Rotate responsibilities?• Multidisciplinary teams

• Observers/Scorekeepers• Watch video feed in another room

• Avoid unrelated observers in the control room• Participants deserve to know who is watching them

Different Sims for different goals

New equipment/bundle/procedure/competency• Routine scenarios allow learner to demonstrate competency

Communication/Teamwork skills• Repeat the same scenario over and over with team members

switching roles (aka: Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice (RCDP))Critical Thinking Skills

• Same set-up (chest pain) with multiple scenario outcomesTeam Leadership Skills

• Stresses the individual’s ability to lead• Frequently high stress/low volume scenarios

Push it until they fail?

• For Advanced learners or teams• “Let them flail to identify the deficit” (Hunt (2009),Resusciation)

• Really smart people prefer to troubleshoot rather than be given the answer

• For systems evaluation or troubleshooting• Will our new protocol work?

• The Kobayashi Maru scenario• A test of character• “The best figure skaters in the world fall more in practice”

Facilitation Methods

• Facilitator Prompting Simulation▫ Facilitator in room during session

• Partial Facilitator Prompting▫ Facilitator adds prompts that help

steer the simulation▫ Prompts vs. Injects

• Media Facilitator Prompting▫ No person in the room

• No Facilitator Prompting

Facilitator Prompting

• Intentionally used complex scenarios not typical with 1st year as wanted to focus on nursing process. Required facilitator prompting as scenario was beyond the scope of the students.

• Burns, H., O’Donnell, J., & Artman, J. (2010). High-fidelity simulation in teaching problem solving to 1st year nursing students: A novel use of the nursing process. Clinical Simulation in Nursing, 6:e87-e95.

Media Facilitator Prompting

• Both injects and prompts can be delivered to a video monitor in the simulation room without an in-room facilitator breaking the suspended reality of the simulation.

• -Bortle, C. (2013)

Debriefing

• Formal Debrief with Video• Adjourn to another room• Review the case

• Open-ended questions• “What went right?”

• Debrief in the room• Same basic rules – no video playback• Less opportunity for reflection• Varies from fairly formal, to “on the fly”

• Debrief yourself• Essentially no formal debrief• Possible to allow participants to review video on their own

Kolb Experiential Learning Theory

• Concrete experience (feeling): • Learning from specific experiences and relating to people.

Sensitive to other's feelings.

• Reflective observation (watching):• Observing before making a judgment by viewing the

environment from different perspectives. Looks for the meaning of things.

• Abstract conceptualization (thinking): • Logical analysis of ideas and acting on intellectual understanding

of a situation.

• Active experimentation (doing): • Ability to get things done by influencing people and events

through action. Includes risk-taking.

Cognitive Load Theory

• Short Term Memory = Desktop (ROM)• Long Term Memory = Hard Drive• Miller – 7 plus/minus 2• Avoid extraneous input that increases the cognitive load

• Like having to remember how the manikin works

• Have distinct objectives in mind for each scenario• Additional objectives may vicariously occur during debriefing

The Classic Sim Model

• Psychological Safety• Perform Scenario

• Experiential Learning• Build toward goals with Simulation curriculum

• Scaffolding – watch the Cognitive Load

• Debrief• Reflective Learning

• Repeat

Psychological Safety

• A Slice of Vegas: “What happens here stays here”

• Setting ground rules (see http://ahc.buffalo.edu/simulation/resources.php)

• Video provides objective review if questions arise

• Video saved or destroyed?

Scenario

• Grounded in curriculum and educational objectives • Main Focus / Foci are goals of the scenario linked to

curriculum • Performance Measures are discrete and measurable

indicators of expected behavior • Not achieving performance measure indicates

performance gap that needs to be closed during debriefing

• Debriefing based on and linked to these performance measures

Location and Timing

• Location• Ideally room separate from simulation room. • Unlinks emotional attachments• Separate room continues neutrality and safety

• Timing• Immediately after scenario concludes (NO BREAKS!) • Capture emotions and events while memory is fresh

Reflective Learning

• Processing events and situation • Get at the “why’s” of the scenario • Consider alternate diagnoses/treatments/management

strategy • Debriefer elicits information from the group • Inquiry-Advocacy

• Asking open-ended questions to determine how learners feel about the situation

• Identifies thought processes

• Socratic Method • Socrates used directed questioning to identify deficiencies in logic • “playing dumb” about facts and ideas asking opponent to explain

their thoughts

Does it work empirically?

• The simulation community seems quite honest and willing to evaluate the effectiveness of the medium.

• Is it effective• Is it COST effective• Is it better than other approaches

• That being said, educational research is quite difficult to validate

• Recent questions bout learning styles being relevant

Take Home Messages

• There’s a lot you can do without spending $100K

• Don’t forget the expense of supplies and disposables

• Who is going to do the scut work?• Have an overall plan (curriculum)• Have a plan for ach Sim (objectives)• Document everything so it counts!

Hands on

• Lets see what some manikins can do.
