Abstract
Objectives: To assess the skill of bag-tube manual ventilation with the flow-inflating bag in multiprofessional PICU team members using a mobile simulation unit.
Design: Prospective observational study from January 2022 to April 2022.
Setting: In situ mobile simulation using the flow-inflating bag in an academic PICU.
Subjects: Multiprofessional PICU team members including nurses, respiratory therapists, nurse practitioners, fellows, and attendings.
Interventions: None.
Measurements and main results: We enrolled 129 participants who twice completed 1-minute tasks performing bag-tube manual ventilation with a flow-inflating bag. Sessions were video recorded; four could not be analyzed. Only 30% of participants reported being very to extremely confident, and the majority (62%) reported infrequent skill performance. Task success was defined as achieving target pressure ranges during 80% of the delivered breaths, respiratory rate (RR) of 25-35 breaths/min, and successful pop-off valve engagement. Only five of 129 participants (4%) achieved successful ventilation as defined. Overall, participants were more likely to deliver lower pressures and faster rate. Maintaining target positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) was least likely to be achieved (19% success), followed by RR (52%), pop-off valve (64%), then peak inspiratory pressure (71%). Nurses were less likely to achieve target pressures compared with all other professions.
Conclusions: Multiprofessional PICU team members have highly variable self-confidence with bag-tube manual ventilation using a flow-inflating bag. Observed performance demonstrates rare success with achieving targeted ventilation parameters, in particular maintenance of PEEP. Future research should focus on developing mobile simulation units to facilitate profession-specific, real-time coaching to teach high-quality manual ventilation that can be translated to the bedside.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Critical Care Medicine is written for the entire critical care team: pediatricians, neonatologists, respiratory therapists, nurses, and others who deal with pediatric patients who are critically ill or injured. International in scope, with editorial board members and contributors from around the world, the Journal includes a full range of scientific content, including clinical articles, scientific investigations, solicited reviews, and abstracts from pediatric critical care meetings. Additionally, the Journal includes abstracts of selected articles published in Chinese, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish translations - making news of advances in the field available to pediatric and neonatal intensive care practitioners worldwide.
