Simulation perspective on new latent safety threats in high-risk patient care scenarios during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Code Simulation team at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Benioff Children's Hospital-San Francisco is presenting a perspective on COVID-19 related simulation in a paediatric emergency department (PED) setting. The primary focus was personal protective equipment (PPE) usage in the setting of new latent safety threats in high-risk scenarios in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. We addressed communication challenges and trialled new workflows in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic.
