“…Examples of low cost medical equipment substitutes include adapting plastic water bottles as spacers for inhaler therapy and the use of sterile nasogastric tubes as umbilical vein catheters (19, 23, 24). When purchasing equipment, the availability in the LMIC or region should be considered, so that it may be maintained and repaired locally (19).…”

Pediatric critical care is an important component of reducing morbidity and mortality globally. Currently, pediatric critical care in low middle-income countries (LMICs) remains in its infancy in most hospitals. The majority of hospitals lack designated intensive care units, healthcare staff trained to care for critically ill children, adequate numbers of staff, and rapid access to necessary medications, supplies and equipment. In addition, most LMICs lack pediatric critical care training programs for healthcare providers or certification procedures to accredit healthcare providers working in their pediatric intensive care units (PICU) and high dependency areas. PICU can improve the quality of pediatric care in general and, if properly organized, can effectively treat the severe complications of high burden diseases, such as diarrhea, severe malaria, and respiratory distress using low-cost interventions. Setting up a PICU in a LMIC setting requires planning, specific resources, and most importantly investment in the nursing and permanent medical staff. A thoughtful approach to developing pediatric critical care services in LMICs starts with fundamental building blocks: training healthcare professionals in skills and knowledge, selecting resource appropriate effective equipment, and having supportive leadership to provide an enabling environment for appropriate care. If these fundamentals can be built on in a sustainable manner, an appropriate critical care service will be established with the potential to significantly decrease pediatric morbidity and mortality in the context of public health goals as we reach toward the sustainable development goals.

Trainees and clinicians from high-income countries are increasingly engaging in global health (GH) efforts, particularly in resource-limited settings. Concomitantly, there is a growing demand for these individuals to be better prepared for the common challenges and controversies inherent in GH work. This is a state-of-the-art review article in which we outline what is known about the current scope of trainee and clinician involvement in GH experiences, highlight specific considerations and issues pertinent to GH engagement, and summarize preparation recommendations that have emerged from the literature. The article is focused primarily on short-term GH experiences, although much of the content is also pertinent to long-term work. Suggestions are made for the health care community to develop and implement widely endorsed preparation standards for trainees, clinicians, and organizations engaging in GH experiences and partnerships.

“…There is significant potential to provide EM‐specific, open‐access online educational resources in places where formal EM training is limited or currently developing. Multiple online video platforms make educational videos available to learners in developing countries . There is a paucity of research regarding the effectiveness of educational videos created in high‐income countries and their use in low‐ to middle‐income countries (LMICs); however, we do know that online EM resources are used worldwide …”

Video is a popular format for teaching and learning online. Emergency medicine (EM) has been a leader in online learning and EM educators may wish to use video to teach. The creation of online video content is fraught with pitfalls that may make videos less effective. We review notable theory and evidence regarding effective use of video for education in EM with international considerations. E mergency medicine (EM) has been a pioneer in the creation and dissemination of online resources for learners. 1 Video, in various forms, is a common modality for online teaching. The nature of EM puts educators in a unique position to produce videos on a breadth of topics, which may impact patient care both inside and outside of the specialty. With globalization and the continued spread of the internet, EM educators can have a worldwide educational reach. 2 While online resources proliferate, debate continues about their value. [3][4][5][6][7] Guides exist for making educational videos more effective and easier to produce. 8-10 Reviews of educational theory as it applies to video production also exist. 11,12 We aim to offer evidence-and theory-based strategies for the EM educator who wishes to pursue effective video production.
