Objective: Central nervous system (CNS) tumor diagnoses are frequently delayed in children, which may lead to adverse outcomes and undue burdens on families. Examination of factors associated with delayed emergency department (ED) diagnosis could identify approaches to reduce delays.
Study Design: We performed a case-control study using data from 2014 to 2017 for 6 states.
Article Synopsis
- - The study compared two training methods for pediatric advanced life support (PALS): postsimulation debriefing (PSD) and rapid-cycle deliberate practice (RCDP), focusing on team performance and workload.
- - Participants included 41 interprofessional teams of healthcare residents and nurses, with those using RCDP showing significantly faster defibrillation times compared to those using PSD.
- - RCDP resulted in lower perceived workload as measured by the NASA-TLX, indicating it may be a more effective training method for time-sensitive scenarios in PALS.
Introduction: Rapid cycle deliberate practice (RCDP) for teaching team-based resuscitation is associated with similar improvements in immediate performance as compared with postsimulation debriefing (PSD). Limited studies compare skill retention between these 2 modalities. Our objective was to compare retention of team leader performance in residents trained with RCDP versus PSD.

Introduction: Learner workload during simulated team-based resuscitations is not well understood. In this descriptive study, we measured the workload of learners in different team roles during simulated paediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Methods: Paediatric emergency nurses and paediatric and emergency medicine residents formed teams of four to eight and randomised into roles to participate in simulation-based, paediatric resuscitation.
