Ethylene Glycol Ingestion

Matthew Schwab, MD* and Jennifer Yee, DO*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8M620Issue 4:2[mrp_rating_result]
By the conclusion of the simulation session, learners will be able to: 1) obtain a thorough toxicologic history, including intent, timing, volume/amount, and assessment for co-ingestions, 2) distinguish the variable clinical signs and symptoms associated with toxic alcohol ingestions, 3) identify metabolic derangements associated with toxic alcohol ingestions, 4) discuss the management of toxic alcohol ingestion, 5) appropriately disposition the patient for admission to intensive care unit (ICU).

Pediatric Sedation for Forearm Fracture

Nichole Niknafs, DO* and Alisa Wray, MD, MAEd^

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8CS7K Issue 4:1[mrp_rating_result]
At the end of this simulation, participants will: 1) review options for pain control in pediatric patients, 2) perform a pre-sedation history and physical exam, 3) review the indications and contraindications for pediatric moderate sedation, 4) understand components of consent, and get consent from the patient’s parent, 5) list medication options for moderate sedation in a pediatric patient and review their appropriate doses, indications, contraindications, and side effects, 6) discuss management of moderate sedation complications, and 7) review criteria for discharging a patient after sedation.

Cocaine-induced Myocardial Infarction and Pulmonary Edema

Dae-won Lee, MD* and Timothy J Koboldt, MD*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8ZS87Issue 3:4[mrp_rating_result]
By the end of this simulation session, the learners will be able to:1) Determine appropriate diagnostics in a patient with likely cocaine toxicity. 2) Identify and manage respiratory failure.  3) Identify and manage a ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and pulmonary edema. 4) Identify and manage cocaine toxicity with benzodiazepines. 5) Determine appropriate disposition of the patient to the cardiac catheterization lab and an intensive care unit (ICU). 6) Demonstrate effective communication and teamwork during resuscitation of a critically ill patient.

Prehospital Cardiac Arrest Management Simulation

Nicklaus P Ashburn, MD*, Bryan P Beaver, MD*, Robert D Nelson, MD*, Michael T Fitch, MD, PhD* and Jason P Stopyra, MD*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8V057 Issue 3:4[mrp_rating_result]
At the end of this simulation learners will be able to: 1) Perform team-focused CPR using effective leadership and communication skills during prehospital resuscitation. 2) Employ high-quality CPR with an emphasis on compressions and early defibrillation. 3) Demonstrate appropriate airway management utilizing an oropharyngeal airway and bag-valve-mask, blind-insertion airway device, and/or endotracheal intubation during cardiac arrest. 4) Recognize and appropriately defibrillate pulseless ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. 5) Formulate an appropriate differential diagnosis for pulseless electrical activity.
