By the end of this educational session, the learner will: 1) list the characteristics of a simple febrile seizure; 2) discuss the management of a child with a simple vs. complex febrile seizure; 3) discuss the risk factors that correlate with an increased risk of a subsequent febrile seizure; 4) determine when a lumbar puncture should be considered in a febrile child with a seizure; 5) identify when to give anti-epileptics and construct an algorithm for their use; 6) discuss with parents, provide education and return precautions.

ABSTRACT: Audience: Our target audience includes emergency medicine residents/physicians. Introduction: Treating cardiac arrest is a common theme during simulated emergency medicine training; however, less time is focused on treating refractory cases of cardiac arrest. There are varying definitions of refractory cardiac arrest, but it is most commonly defined as the inability to obtain return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after 10-30

At the conclusion of the simulation session, learners will be able to: 1) Obtain a relevant focused history and physical examination on the agitated psychiatric patient. 2) Develop a differential for the agitated psychiatric patient, including primary psychiatric conditions and other organic pathologies. 3) Discuss the management of the agitated psychiatric patient, including the different options available for chemical sedation. 4) Prioritize safety of self and staff when caring for an agitated psychiatric patient.
