Simulação in situ sobre ressuscitação cardiopulmonar em pediatria: relato de experiência

Abstract

Objective: To describe the experience of constructing and applying an in situ simulation scenario on cardiopulmonary resuscitation in pediatrics. Methods: An in situ simulation scenario was constructed based on the Good Practice Standards for Health Simulation of the International Nursing Association of Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL). The scenario consisted of the following stages: prebriefing, scenario in action, and debriefing, including an observation checklist for evaluating team performance. Results: The simulated scenario was applied to the nursing team (n = 29) of the Pediatric Ward of the Hospital de University, in five sessions that included day and night shifts. Before application, theoretical and practical training on the subject was conducted. The simulation took place in the unit's procedure room, using a medium-fidelity pediatric mannequin, the TruMonitor® application, and other materials. Participants expressed satisfaction, highlighting the realism of the simulation. However, difficulties related to monitoring, cardiopulmonary resuscitation dynamics, and clinical assessment of critically ill patients were observed. Conclusions: Simulation as a qualifying method for healthcare professionals proved to be effective and promising, given its structure's compatibility with the reality of the service.
