Background: Simulation-based training (SBT) for pediatric trauma resuscitation can improve team performance. The purpose of this study was to describe the nationwide trend in SBT use and barriers to SBT implementation.

Methods: Trauma centers that participated in ACS TQIP Pediatric in 2016 (N = 125) were surveyed about SBT use. Center characteristics and reported implementation barriers were compared between centers using and not using SBT.

Results: Survey response rate was 75% (94/125) with 78% (73/94) reporting SBT use. The frequency of pediatric SBT use increased from 2014 to 2016 (median 5.5 vs 6.5 annual sessions, p < 0.01). Funding barriers were negatively associated with number of annual SBT sessions (r ≤ -0.34, p < 0.05). Centers not using SBT reported lack of technical expertise (p = 0.01) and lack of data supporting SBT (p = 0.03) as significant barriers.

Conclusions: Simulation use increased from 2014 to 2016, but significant barriers to implementation exist. Strategies to share resources and decrease costs may improve usage.

Level Of Evidence: Level 3, epidemiological.

Introduction: Limb massive hemorrhage is the first cause of potentially preventable death in trauma. Its prompt and proper management is crucial to increase the survival rate. To handle a massive hemorrhage, it is important to train people without medical background, who might be the first responders in an emergency.

Simulation-based education has been widely implemented in fields such as the aviation industry and the military. Its applications to the field of healthcare education have started to show significant promise globally over the last few decades. Medical education institutions in Pakistan have relied primarily on traditional forms of didactic lectures, apprenticeship models and small-group clinical sessions for clinical skills education in medical schools.
