1 SKILL FOCUS: Cntinuus Nebulizatin DISCIPLINE: Respiratry Therapy LEVEL: 3 PEDIATRIC ASTHMA Estimated Time: 40 minutes Debriefing Time: 30 minutes Scan t Begin SCENARIO OVERVIEW Patient Name: Patrick A. Armstrng Patrick A. Armstrng is a 16-year-ld male patient wh was brught t the emergency department tday by his friend s dad with a severe exacerbatin f his knwn asthma. His asthma is nrmally well-cntrlled, but there was an unintended expsure t a cat while he was at his friend s huse. Students are called t the patient rm emergently at the beginning f this scenari. Students shuld cmplete an RT cnsult and administer a Duneb treatment while the RN starts an IV and administers sterids. He desn t imprve s students shuld recmmend a cntinuus nebulizer t the prvider. This scenari revlves arund the management f a patient during an acute exacerbatin f asthma, the initiatin and management f a cntinuus albuterl nebulizer, and cmmunicatin with the interprfessinal team.

10 TEACHING PLAN PREBRIEF The facilitatr shuld lead this prtin f the simulatin. The fllwing steps will guide yu thrugh Prebrief. Scan the QR Cde: Scan t Begin while students are in Prebrief. Meet Yur Patient (n ipad) and explain hw the ipad wrks in the simulated learning envirnment including: Explain hw t use the ipad scanner and QR cdes. Remind students that there are multiple QR cdes in the simulatin, but they shuld nly scan them if they think it will prvide data necessary fr their assessment and evaluatin f the patient. Fr sme scenaris, it may be helpful t tell students where the QR cde are lcated. Fr thers, yu may want students t find the QR cdes during their assessments. This is yur chice. Describe hw a QR cde sund will wrk in the scenari. Fr the mst authentic sund experience, student shuld use ear buds r the ARISE stethscpe fr all QR cdes with the fllwing symbl:. Example: QR Cde: Chest Anterir 1 As the facilitatr, yu shuld be aware that thrughut the simulatin sme QR cdes are necessary t the prgramming f the ipad cntent. Directins fr which QR cdes are required (t be scanned) in each state are listed under each state f the dcumentatin belw. The QR cdes are als in BOLD type. Level Up tab This tab tells the cntent in the ipad t change t what is needed fr the next state f a simulatin. It is used a few times in this scenari after the prvider is ntified t display new rders (thse just given ver the phne) and lab results, etc Medicatin QR Cdes The student(s) must scan QR Cde: Patient ID prir t scanning any medicatin. That scan is valid fr 2 minutes and then it times ut. The student(s) will need t scan QR Cde: Patient ID again t give mre medicatins. MAR Hyperlinks On the MAR all medicatins are underlined and hyperlinked t DailyMed, which is a medicatin reference hused by the PEDIATRIC ASTHMA SIMULATION UPDATED: JANUARY 25,

Hw will yu mdify yur apprach fr a pediatric patient? View Patient vide n ipad Pssible Facilitatr Questins What cmmunicatin strategies culd yu emply when yu assess and evaluate Patrick? The ipad will stp n a white screen. Student shuld prceed directly t the patient rm. Facilitatr Nte Students cannt view the tabbed cntent n the ipad prir t entering the patient s rm as this is an emergency. Five minutes after the ipad lands n the white screen, the ipad will alert students with a kncking sund and display an image f the friend s dad fllwed by a vide f the dad explaining what happened. During this five minutes, the ipad scanner will ONLY wrk fr QR Cdes: Patient ID, IV Site and all Chest sunds. The Duneb will nt wrk until after the vide f the friend s dad is viewed. When the vide ends and students press cntinue the ipad is n the Patient Prfile screen and the patient s chart is available fr review. PEDIATRIC ASTHMA SIMULATION UPDATED: JANUARY 25,

12 STATE 1 RT CONSULT & DUONEB ADMINISTRATION Patient Overview The patient is in bed in a fwler s psitin. He is n a nn-rebreather mask and quite tachypneic. It is clear he is in sme distress. Students shuld assess the patient and administer a Duneb treatment ASAP. Facilitatr Nte Five minutes int the scenari, the ipad will alert students with a sund that his friend s dad wants t speak with them. An image f the dad is displayed n the ipad fllwed by a vide f the dad explaining what happened. When the vide ends and students press cntinue the ipad is n the Patient Prfile screen and the patient s chart is nw available. See the tabbed ipad cntent belw. During the first five minutes, the ipad scanner will ONLY wrk fr QR Cdes: Patient ID, IV Site and all Chest sunds. The Duneb will nt wrk until after the vide f the friend s dad is viewed. Expected Student Behavirs Perfrm apprpriate hand hygiene and infectin cntrl Intrduce themselves and verify the patient (can scan QR Cde: Patient ID) Obtain vital signs and interpret fr a pediatric patient This patient wuld have vitals similar t an adult f his size. Perfrm a fcused respiratry assessment Inspectin Students will nt find any abnrmalities. (May scan QR Cde: IV t see that an IV was started.) Palpatin Students will nt find any abnrmalities.

Questining may cntinue int state 2 f the scenari. He is unable and refuses t perfrm a Peak Flw r FEV1 if students ask. Questins can include: Hw lng have yu had asthma? Answer: All my life gasp I guess. Have yu ever been admitted t the hspital fr yur asthma? Answer: I dn t gasp remember, but gasp my mm said I gasp had pneumnia when gasp I was a baby. What are yur triggers? Answer: What are triggers? (He is cnfused and desn t knw what this means.) When the student(s) explains triggers, he says, Cats gasp spring allergies gasp and smetimes when gasp I get a cld. What medicatins d yu take fr yur breathing? Answer: Just my inhaler. Hw ften d yu take them? Answer: Nt that ften gasp I haven t had gasp t take it gasp in a few mnths. D yu take any ther medicatins? Answer: Ibuprfen smetimes.

Answer: I have befre gasp but nt fr gasp a lng gasp time. D yu have an asthma actin plan? Answer: What s that? Recgnize and respnd t abnrmal findings Safely administer nebulized medicatin (Scan QR Cde: Duneb) Technician Prmpts Student(s) must scan QR Cde: Patient ID prir t medicatin administratin. If nt scanned, the ipad will read, ERROR: N patient infrmatin identified. Since the patient is n a nn-rebreather mask, students shuld recgnize the need t place the patient n a nasal cannula r highflw nasal cannula during the administratin f the Duneb. Breath sunds, vitals, etc., d nt change after the administratin f the Duneb. Patient cmplains f shrtness f breath and speaks in 2-3 wrd sentences. He is unable and refuses t perfrm a Peak Flw r FEV1 if students ask. Patient respnses can include: I can t breathe! Why didn t my gasp puffer wrk? Are yu gasp ging t help gasp me? When asked patient histry questins, the patient has a difficult time answering them because f his current cnditin. His respnses shuld be PEDIATRIC ASTHMA SIMULATION UPDATED: JANUARY 25,

15 shrt and in 2-3 wrd respnses. Thrughut any questining, he shuld keep repeating phrases such as: I can t breathe. Please help me. I think gasp I need gasp a nebulizer. Questins (these may cntinue int state 2) can include: Hw lng have yu had asthma? Answer: All my life gasp I guess. Have yu ever been admitted t the hspital fr yur asthma?

34 5. Assessment and Dcumentatin a. The patient shuld remain n cntinuus nebulizatin until they have imprved. This shuld be measured by peak flw, FEV1 and patient assessment. b. Criteria fr discntinuance prir t patient imprvement include increased side effects such as increased heart rate, palpitatins, arrhythmias, nausea/vmiting r significant tremrs. In additin, cntinuus nebulizatin shuld nt preclude intubatin if that is deemed necessary. See the Cntinuus Nebulizatin during Mechanical Ventilatin plicy. c. Fllwing cntinuus nebulizatin, a trial f Q2 hur intermittent therapy shuld be attempted. d. The fllwing will be dcumented by a Respiratry Care Practitiner every 30 minutes fr the first tw hurs and every tw hurs thereafter: i. Medicatin cncentratin ii. Nebulizer utput and flwrate iii. FiO2 r supplemental O2 iv. Heart rate & rhythm, Respiratry rate, Bld Pressure and O2 Saturatin v. Breath sunds vi. Peak flw & FEV1 as tlerated vii. Side effects (if applicable) viii. Arterial bld gas infrmatin (if applicable) ix. Level f cnsciusness 6. Precautins a. Fllw cautins as specified in the Medicated Aersl plicy with additinal cnsideratin fr the fllwing: b. The presence f nausea (if a new finding), tremrs and tachycardia indicate the need t discntinue therapy r reduce the medicatin dsage. c. Beta agnists can lwer serum ptassium and raise bld glucse. Mnitring and treatment f any abnrmalities is warranted. d. If the mask is displaced, medicatin will nt be delivered. Thus, patient cperatin and tleratin is criteria fr the prvisin f cntinuus therapy.
