Integrating Simulation in EMS James DiClemente Professional Ambulance
Overview • Tour of our Simulation and education facilities • Setting up and organizing • Making it feel real • Assessing your needs • Evaluating training effectiveness
What can we do? • Daily simulation • Remediation • Skills retention • New equipment training • ACLS/PALS • Case of the month • Orientation • Student education • Live debriefe • Hospital training
Organize your lab • Stock equipment • Refill lots of meds • Stock for each level of providers • Know your audience • Prepare extra
Organize your staff • Keep them consistent • Good simulation takes practice • Train them • Use your resources • Know your limitations • Use outside resources when needed
Assessing you needs • Ongoing training? • Remediation? • Individual • Company wide (back boarding) • Skill development? • New hire? • Skill retention? • H.A.L.O
HALO • Airway Management • Intubation • Bougie • Airtraq • King LT • Pedi iGel • QuickTrach • NG/OG Tube • Needle Decompression • Tourniquet • CPAP w/neb • IO • Medication Administration • LifePak • Defib • Cardioversion • Pace • ECG Transmit
Make it feel real • Use real cases • Use real gear • Use real settings • Play the part DON’T VERBALIZE
Don’t just train skills • Team Building • Decision making • Differential Diagnosis • Skill Development
Evaluating Success • Skill retention • First time field success • Evaluations • “Scoring” • Be objective
