1 Cardiac arrest simulation teaching (CASTeach) session Instructor guidance Key learning outcomes Overall aim: Scenarios should be facilitated by the Instructor in such a way that they are performed correctly. Instructors will guide candidates through questions and prompts to achieve the management of the scenario according to current guidelines. Following this session, candidates should be able to: develop competence and confidence in managing the deteriorating patient develop competence and confidence in managing the first few minutes of a cardiac arrest before the arrival of a resuscitation team or other expert help appropriately hand over care to the resuscitation team develop competencies required to function as a member of a resuscitation team facilitate the application of current guidelines and skills taught in the workshops/skill stations into the practical management of the deteriorating and arrested patient Simulation Management These simulations are designed for healthcare professionals who may be called to act in the role of a first responder to a patient at risk of, or in cardiac arrest. Candidates should be encouraged to participate in a way that is consistent with their everyday practice whilst allowing them to develop the range of skills required by resuscitation team members. The simulations should be used to develop the essential competencies required by those who have to respond first to a cardiac arrest. The principle skills required of a first responder are: to recognise the deteriorating patient, to call for help, and to provide early CPR, early defibrillation, and an efficient hand over to the resuscitation team. A shockable rhythm has been included in each scenario to ensure that all candidates have the opportunity to further practise defibrillation. This may make some of the simulation scenarios unrealistic but this compromise will help maximise the opportunities for candidates to practise their skills. The simulations are generic to accommodate the different clinical backgrounds of candidates on the course. The instructor should tailor the scenarios so that they are appropriate to the candidate s background. For example, Scenario 1 could be presented as You are called to the home of a 55-year old patient who is complaining of chest pain for a community responder; or You are asked to see a 55-year old patient admitted with chest pain for a medical nurse/doctor; or You are asked to see a 55-year old patient who is three hours post-op for a surgical nurse/doctor. The scenarios should be run sequentially (i.e. CASTeach 1, then CASTeach 2) for all groups. Scenarios are designed to last up to 10 minutes, followed by five minutes for discussion and feedback. The discussion points are designed to facilitate consistent teaching between stations and should be covered by the instructor. These may be covered during the scenario itself. A candidate nominated as the first responder should lead each scenario. A second helper may be provided if such a person is likely to be available in the participant s usual place of work. Page 1 of 9
2 The first responder role may evolve to the team leader of the scenario when additional human resources (other candidates arrival) permit. This role is supported by the instructor. All candidates should undertake the role of first responder on at least one occasion. The precise timing of the arrival of the resuscitation team is left to the discretion of the instructor. They can be introduced early if the first responder is struggling or later if they are progressing well. The resuscitation team referred to in the scenarios may be a hospital cardiac arrest team, medical emergency team (MET), ambulance service paramedic response or other advanced team with responsibilities for managing cardiac arrests. The first responder/team leader should hand over the care of the patient to the resuscitation team upon its arrival. They should then participate as a member of the resuscitation team as resuscitation continues. The instructor may play the role of the resuscitation team leader and guide the team members if appropriate to the candidate group. It is recognised that not all course participants will be authorised or trained for procedures such as IV access or drug prescription and administration. Where these tasks are required as interventions in scenarios, participants who are not trained/authorised to undertake these procedures should state which treatment should be given by an appropriately trained/authorised person. The CASTeach scenarios are used as an opportunity to consolidate skills taught in the workshops, such as defibrillation, airway management, external chest compressions and ECG interpretation. Instructors should encourage good practice and monitor/give feedback on performance in these areas as required. The instructor must encourage high quality chest compressions and ventilations with minimum interruptions for other interventions (e.g. defibrillation). Aim for interruptions in chest compressions of less than 5 s for rhythm checks and attempting defibrillation. The scenarios should be tailored to be used with an AED or manual defibrillator. If there is spare time after completing the six core scenarios, the instructor may present the group with additional scenarios prepared in advance by the Course Director. Background information for the candidates should be delivered in an ISBAR format (Identify, Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation); alternatively RSVP (Reasons, Story, Vital signs, Plan) can be used depending on local practice. For example: Instructor presentation to candidate: I: Hello, this is nurse Jones calling from the acute admissions unit. S: I m contacting you about Mrs Smith who has chest pain B: She s 60-years-old and was admitted yesterday with shortness of breath. She s had a previous MI two years ago, and is being treated for an ACS A: I m a bit worried about her to be honest she has chest pain and becoming more short of breath. She looks terrible. My colleague is doings observations and the observation response chart indicates a need for urgent review R: I ve started oxygen and told the ward sister about her. Could you please come and review her urgently as I think she s deteriorating and may need further treatment Page 2 of 9
