his will be a 2 day workshop teaching PALS and BLS skills. It will be structured similarly to the way AHA taught PALS before moving to the online curriculum. This will be comprised of hands on skills practice over: infant/child CPR/AED utilization, vascular access, airway skills, rhythm disturbance/electrical therapy skills, and practicing the case scenarios covering respiratory/shocks states. We will be relying mainly on task trainers and low fidelity simulation (which we will have to supply) to get through the curriculum.
The audience is comprised of learners ranging from faculty/resident/medical students, from across Mongolia. It is important to support this population because they are a middle income country that is still developing their pediatric anesthesia program and would benefit from our input and expertise.
We anticipate that this simulation conference will impart PALS and the simulation curriculum to a wide reaching audience in Mongolia. Additionally, given that this a follow up mission trip, it may be possible to reinforce prior simulation training so that Mongolian providers may continue to provide simulation training after we leave.
I believe our trip was an overwhelming success. We were able to teach/introduce the residence and physicians at MNUMS PLAS and simulation techniques. They were very avid learning and very receptive of what we had to offer. I hope that this workshop will provide them with a framework for which to build their simulation curriculum and to advance patient care.
