SCCM Resource Library-Pro/Con: Telesimulation in Critical Care: Lessons Learned

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker, Robert Finkelstein, discusses a project that used tele-simulation to teach non-ICU physicians how to manage ventilators during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The project involved asynchronous and synchronous learning, with recorded videos providing the asynchronous didactics and remote simulation sessions providing the synchronous learning experience. The goal was to teach clinicians ventilator management in COVID-19 respiratory failure and basic principles of ARDS and cardiopulmonary interactions. The telesimulation sessions were about 40 minutes long and included discussions on various topics related to ventilator management. The project used a multidisciplinary team of simulation experts and invited interested non-critical care providers to participate. The tele-simulation sessions were conducted using video conferencing platforms like Zoom and involved the use of ventilators and test lungs to provide a realistic learning experience. The project also highlighted the benefits and challenges of using tele-simulation, including the need for adequate technology, pre-briefing sessions, and clear communication during the remote simulations. Overall, the project demonstrated the effectiveness of telesimulation in providing remote education and training in critical care settings.

Asset Caption

COVID-19 affected undergraduate and graduate medical education for all trainees in all disciplines, including clinical bedside experiences, knowledge assessments in high-stakes certification examination administration, and case volume decrement for procedural and operative disciplines. Traditional in-person simulations of small and large scale were affected by the paucity of personal protective equipment and the risk of clinicians congregating in groups. Variation in ability and resources to deliver simulation in person warranted rapid expansion of telesimulation and creative solutions to close the experience and knowledge gap, which continued for several months during the pandemic. Learning Objectives: -Review examples of successful telesimulation in critical care -Identify key structures and formulas for successful faculty development and technology support for telesimulation -List three areas of continued growth and expansion of critical care simulation education
