Minute (state) | Participant action/trigger | Patient status (simulator response) & operator prompts | Monitor display (vital signs) |
---|---|---|---|
0:00 (Baseline) | Patient brought from waiting room to room | Participants should perform an ABC assessment, place patient on monitor, and perform a history and physical examination. | T: 98.9°F HR: 95 BP: 138/76 RR: 22 O2: 94% |
04:00 | IV placed, labs drawn, CXR ordered | Participants should perform a detailed neurological exam. If participants do not perform neuro exam, nursing will prompt with “Why is the patient laying so still?” |
T: 98.9°F HR: 95 BP: 138/76 RR: 22 O2: 94% |
Lab results return | Participants should note the labs indicate a mild respiratory acidosis and are otherwise grossly normal. | T: 98.9°F HR: 95 BP: 138/76 RR: 22 O2: 94% |
|
10:00 | Participants should recognize respiratory muscle weakness. | If the team intubates the patient, he will stabilize. If the patient is not intubated, he will develop worsening respiratory function. If the patient is not pre-oxygenated prior to intubation, he will have an oxygen desaturation during the procedure. If the team does not intubate the patient, he will require intubation after admission, or suffer a cardiac arrest if not admitted to ICU. This must be clarified during the debrief. |
Intubated: T: 99.8°F HR: 94 BP: 131/84 RR: 20 O2sat: 100% Not intubated: T: 98.9°F HR: 95 BP: 138/76 RR: 22O2: 94% |
12:00 | Participants should recognize the need for antitoxin | If the team contacts a public health agency the patient will receive antitoxin within 8 hours. If the team does not contact a public health agency the patient will not receive antitoxin and will have a prolonged illness. This must be clarified during the debrief. |
