Utilizing the Flipped Classroom, Simulation-Based Mastery Learning and Group Learning to Teach and Evaluate Lumbar Puncture Skills

Amanda Crichlow, MD, MSMS*, Jessica Parsons, MD, MSMS*, Varsha Goswami, MD^*, Srikala Ponnuru MD^* and Sharon Griswold MD, MPH^*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8RW58 Issue 3:1 No ratings yet.

The goal of the curriculum is to teach and evaluate senior medical students / emergency medicine residents on the performance of a lumbar puncture using a group learning protocol. At the completion of the training session, learners should be able to: 1) Demonstrate how to perform a LP on an adult patient by achieving the minimum passing standard on the checklist, 2) state the indications and contraindications of performing a LP, and 3) state the potential complications that can occur after performing a LP.

Severe Sepsis Manifesting as A-Fib with Rapid Ventricular Rate

Paul Nicholson, MD^* and Jennifer Yee, DO^*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8WG9W Issue 3:1 No ratings yet.

By the end of this simulation session, the learner will be able to: 1) Recognize severe sepsis (please note – Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Sepsis-I and II definitions are used throughout the case, as Sepsis-III has not been adopted by any emergency medicine organizations), 2) recognize atrial fibrillation, 3) review the importance of a thorough history and physical exam, 4) discuss the sepsis spectrum, 5) discuss the acute management of severe sepsis, 6) discuss common and uncommon sources of sepsis, 7) discuss appropriate empiric antibiotic options, 8) discuss common causes of newly-diagnosed atrial fibrillation, 9) review the different emergency medicine-based treatment modalities for uncomplicated atrial fibrillation, specifically atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate.

Samuel Kaplan, BS^* and Lindsey Spiegelman, MD^*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8534P Issue 2:4 No ratings yet.

At the end of this simulation session the learner will: 1) Recognize clinical history suggestive of cardiogenic syncope, 2) recognize clinical evidence of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, 3) promptly and appropriately treat unstable WPW tachyarrhythmia.

Pediatric Toxic Shock Syndrome

Jennifer Yee, DO^* and Andrew King, MD^*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8WK8J Issue 2:4 No ratings yet.

By the end of this simulation session, the learner will be able to: 1) Recognize toxic shock syndrome. 2) Review the importance of a thorough physical exam. 3) Discuss management of toxic shock syndrome, including supportive care and the difference in antibiotic choices for streptococcal and staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome. 4) Appropriately disposition a patient suffering from toxic shock syndrome. 5) Communicate effectively with team members and nursing staff during a resuscitation of a critically ill patient.

Pediatric Sepsis Case Scenario

Ilene Claudius, MD^*, Sandra Montero, RN^*, Madhu Hardasmalani, MD^{^}, Kellyn Pak, RN^* and Y. Liza Kearl, MD^{^}

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8MK5XIssue 2:2 No ratings yet.

Pediatric sepsis is a low-frequency, high impact condition. Nurses and physicians do not see it often, but must recognize and treat children with sepsis efficiently when they present. This makes pediatric sepsis education particularly amenable to simulation scenarios.

Anaphylaxis Simulation

Christopher Eric McCoy, MD, MPH^*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J84S3W Issue 2:1 No ratings yet.

By the end of this simulation-based session, the learner will be able to: 1) Recognize and diagnose anaphylaxis according to the criteria set forth by the NIAID and FAAN symposium 2) discuss the appropriate dose, concentration, and delivery route of epinephrine for anaphylaxis 3) list and discuss the rationale for the second-line therapeutic options used to treat anaphylaxis, and 4) develop an appropriate disposition algorithm to be used when managing anaphylaxis in the clinical setting.
