Article Synopsis
- The mini-CEX is an observation tool used to evaluate and provide feedback on the care delivery skills of medical residents, which has been verified for its effectiveness in various settings, but not extensively in pediatric emergency care.
- The study aimed to track the development of emergency care skills in pediatric residency over four years and evaluate participants' satisfaction with the mini-CEX process.
- Results showed significant improvement in skill acquisition from year one to year two of residency, with high satisfaction ratings from both residents and evaluators, indicating a successful implementation of the mini-CEX.
Objective: The attention provided to the seriously ill represents a great challenge for health care professionals; familiarity with this profile will allow for the optimal use of resources and will also lead to an improvement in the training of the health professionals. We sought to understand the characteristics of patients seen in the resuscitation room (RR) of a pediatric emergency department (PED), and to determine the risk factors for a poor evolution.
Methods: An observational analytical study was carried out in the PED of a third-level pediatric hospital from September 2016 through August 2017.
