Instilling Confidence and Competence: CRRT Training and Troubleshooting in the
Simulation Lab
Vickie Hawkins
Background
• CRRT @ Cardon Children’s PICU– Low Volume/High Risk Skill– Previous experience– Patients transferred to other facilities– No continuity of patient care– Decreased RN confidence– Decreased MD confidence
• The education “fix” at the time– Training from company educators– Tech support from company– Practice– Support from adult ICU

The Road from Then to Now
• Goals– Core group of PICU staff– Set-up and Troubleshoot
• 30 minute set up time• Access• Clotted Filter• Initiation and Disconnect• Improve confidence levels
– Assist with future education & training
• Resources– Evidence-based education lacking for CRRT– Simulation shown to assist learners transition skills into practice
Simulation
• Logistics– Cost
• Schedules• Equipment
– Develop curriculum• Weighted Checklists• Eight hour didactic session• Three 4-hour based simulations• Mandatory monthly 4-hour simulation session
– Simulation• Use of saline in simulation not satisfactory to replicate
troubleshooting• Develop tubing to accommodate blood• Create scenarios
Outcomes
• Remediation decreased as the skill level of the nurse increased
Goal: less than 30 minutes
Time to Set Up
Confidence Levels Increased
Nursing self-confidence increased significantly
Physician confidence increased significantly
