Description
Summary:Abstract This case was created as part of our emergency medicine resident simulation curriculum. The case is based on an actual patient seen in our emergency department and highlights specific teaching points and potential pitfalls in treatment algorithms. The purpose of this simulation case is to prepare residents and students to care for patients involved in a house fire. Case length is approximately 15 minutes, with 30-45 minutes of debriefing to follow. Participants include emergency medicine residents, internal medicine residents, family medicine residents, surgical residents, and senior-level medical students in teams of four participants. This case was run consecutively four times in our simulation center. Each case evaluated four to five emergency medicine residents per session for a total of approximately 20 residents.
