Table 4. Top Three Challenges Encountered During the In-Situ Simulation Training by Specialty.

Pediatric emergency Adult emergency Anesthesia
Airway management Anticipation of difficult airway Preparation of intubation equipment Anticipation of difficult airway
Assignment of the most expert provider to perform intubation Using non-rebreathing mask/using high flow nasal cannula/avoidance non-invasive ventilation Closure of the suction system
Use of video laryngoscopy Anticipation of difficult airway Administration of low flow O2 in case desaturation with minimal pressure < 20 mm Hg
Infection control Minimization of the total number of personnel inside the room Adherence to the proper sequence of doffing Preparation of all needed equipment outside the intubation room
Prioritization of healthcare workers safety Avoidance of incomplete donning or doffing of the PPE Attachment of a viral filter
Adherence to the proper sequence of donning Consideration of using plastic cover for the pediatric or plastic box for adult Following CDC/institutional guidelines in aerosol-generating procedure
Team dynamic Speaking up Assure closed-loop communication Speaking up
Assignment of the team and clarity of roles Speaking up Assignment of the team and clarity of roles
Loudness and clarity of the team leader voice Synchronous communication between the team leader and team Loudness and clarity of the team leader voice
