“…The perceptions of participants were validated using data from quality reviews following real resuscitation events at that institution, which are consistent with findings shared in the literature. For example, Hawani and colleagues [13] examined resuscitation skills and team performance during 82 simulated pediatric resuscitation events from 2016 to 2019 and concluded that in situ code simulation was a helpful way to enhance team performance and improve the quality of cardiac resuscitation. Further, Halm and Crespo [14] systematically examined published studies reporting resuscitation skill acquisition following a variety of training formats.…”

“…In situ simulations can identify multiple potential operational gaps, which allow decisionmakers to take necessary action in time [1]. There are now significant pieces of evidence demonstrating that simulation education interventions can produce changes in provider knowledge, attitudes, and skills in both the simulation laboratory and clinical settings [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Not only does simulation training provide learning at the individual level, but it also has an integral part to play in systems testing.…”

Background COVID-19 has created major challenges for academic education and clinical training, as well as on routine, emergency, and elective patients who have been impacted by the health service’s response to COVID-19. Simulation helps recognize and correct both active and latent threats in health institutions. Objectives This study aimed to describe the implementation steps, challenges, and solutions for simulations to make a difference in hospital operational readiness in the response to COVID-19. Methods We conducted a series of in situ simulations in different areas of the hospital to deal with COVID-19 patients. We designed seven scenarios to include different clinical situations of pediatric COVID-19 cases, such as emergency room triage and respiratory support. Results In total, seven simulation-based drills were conducted during March 1-30, 2020, and 89 healthcare professionals participated in these sessions. Many of the revealed latent threats were regarding teamwork, workflows, and adherence to infection control measures. Conclusion We found that in situ simulations helped to identify multiple latent hazard issues. Simulations have a great positive impact on hospital preparedness for the COVID-19 crisis in the pediatric field. Video-recorded simulations method is a good alternative to maintain medical supplies during the COVID-19 crisis.

“…There are various approaches to resuscitation training. In situ simulation training holds the training session in a realistic environment and offers the opportunity to identify issues with the existing code processes, such as equipment availability, location, and functionality [12,[18][19][20]. Several studies support the use of resuscitation training programs that are multidisciplinary sessions based on the latest resuscitation guidelines.…”

Background Cardiopulmonary arrest is an uncommon event in pediatric patients. Additionally, physicians-in-training see far fewer cardiopulmonary arrest events. Therefore, they have limited confidence in their resuscitation skills. Mock code training with active participation and debriefing may be an effective tool to fill this gap in experience. The aims of the study were to assess the impact of a mock code simulation program on patient outcome for children with cardiopulmonary arrest in a tertiary pediatric academic center and provide evidence that code simulations can improve the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Methods This was a retrospective cohort study conducted in a tertiary academic center. This study had two phases: Phase 1 before the mock code simulation program began (pre-intervention) and Phase 2 after the mock code program began (post-intervention). The data were collected from pediatric patients with cardiopulmonary arrest during the study period who met the inclusion criteria, and variables included the survival rate at hospital discharge, CPR initiation time, time to the first dose of epinephrine, and the adherence rate to American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. Results A total of 13 patients in the pre-intervention period and 19 patients in the post-intervention period were included. The results showed a significant improvement in team performance represented by a decrease in CPR initiation time post-intervention and improvement in AHA adherence; however, the results did not show a significant difference in the survival rate or mortality within 28 days of the cardiopulmonary arrest event between the pre- and post-intervention groups. Conclusions Mock code simulation was a helpful tool to enhance team performance and improve the quality of cardiac resuscitation and cardiac arrest recognition, while its impact on the survival rate was not significant in our study.
