Introduction: Pediatric bacterial tracheitis is a rare but life-threatening upper airway infection with mortality rates estimated as high as 20%, typically affecting children between 6 months and 12 years old. Given such high mortality rates, we felt it was important to train medical personnel to evaluate and manage this condition. Methods: This simulation-based curriculum was developed for health care professionals involving the evaluation and management of an 8-year-old male with symptoms of fever, stridor, worsening barking cough, and increased work of breathing. Critical actions included identifying stridor and airway respiratory distress; monitoring and supporting airway, breathing, and circulation; administering racemic epinephrine and dexamethasone; and identifying and treating bacterial tracheitis as the underlying cause. Scenario-specific debriefing tools were put together to elicit scenario feedback and aid in formative learning. Results: The scenario was conducted with six fellows and 12 residents and medical students. Per the survey data, the case was rated as highly relevant (median = 5) and highly realistic (median = 5) by participants on a 5-point Likert scale. Discussion: Pediatric bacterial tracheitis is a low frequency, but high-risk scenario that was amenable to simulation as an educational modality and was well-received by participants. The debriefing tools were implemented as a means of helping instructors customize the scenario for learners based on respective educational backgrounds and learning styles.

Dieser 6. Beitrag einer neuen Serie von Publikationen in der Laryngo-Rhino-Otologie widmet sich dem Thema "Erkrankungen der Trachea". Über das Jahr verteilt erscheinen in unserer neuen Rubrik "Facharztwissen HNO" alle 3 Monate didaktisch aufbereitete Übersichtsartikel. Diese greifen die Hauptthemen der Kursreihe "Facharztwissen HNO" auf, die im Wechsel an den HNO-Kliniken in Dresden, Erfurt, Jena und Leipzig stattfindet (jährliche Veranstaltung der Professoren Andreas Dietz, Orlando Guntinas-Lichius, Thomas Zahnert und Dirk Esser). Diese Kursreihe zielt erstrangig auf Assistenten in der Weiterbildung HNO-Heilkunde ab und soll in möglichst persönlichem Rahmen eine direkte Diskussion der Lehrinhalte im Rahmen eines interaktiven Workshops ermöglichen. Die Autoren haben sich zur Aufgabe gestellt, die Inhalte praxisgerecht mit Rücksicht auf aktuelle, wissenschaftlich belastbare Entwicklungen anzubieten. Der Inhalt des HNO-Facharztwissens unterliegt einem ständigen Fluss, sodass durch das Konsensusverfahren der 4 genannten ausgewiesenen Fachvertreter die Aktualitaet und Belastbarkeit des angebotenen Wissens angestrebt wird. Merke: Die neue Rubrik "Facharztwissen HNO" erscheint viermal im Jahr, ist konsequent arbeitsplatzorientiert und praxisnah, mit vielen Tipps und Tricks und konkreten Anweisungen für eine zeitgemäße Diagnostik und Therapie.
