Simulation Based Training for Medical Staff from Department of Pediatrics and Neonatology

摘要

In this paper we presents our experience in training medical staff using high fidelity simulator. We train 500 physicians and nurses from 10 County Hospitals that cover a large area of Romania. Appropriate assessment and resuscitation is an important part of neonatal care provided during the first minutes of life. "Senior" and "junior" medical staff are often in the frontline of neonatal resuscitation. Appropriate education and training of medical staff is therefore essential if the standard of care delivered to babies in the delivery suite is to be improved and maintained. Evaluation of any such educational interventions is necessary to assess their effectiveness. Practical courses in neonatal resuscitation can contribute to improvements in the quality of care provided to babies immediately after birth. These courses are more effective than theoretical teaching alone. Our goal is to evaluate the results of a course in neonatal resuscitation that we sustained on a neonatal simulator and to see the effects of the course on the medical staff.
