Was COVID-19 a heyday for education? Lessons learned from a COVID-19 "pop-up" simulation developed overnight

Copyright © 2023 Baylor University Medical Center..

Introduction: To adjust for the COVID-19 pandemic's rapidly changing guidelines and clinical needs, educators turned to simulation to create realistic yet safe environments for drilling and innovating various care strategies. Individually, institutions faced creating a pathway for deploying new behaviors and techniques widely across their populace.

Methods: In response to this need, we rapidly developed an interprofessional teaching curriculum for safe intubation techniques and donning/doffing of personal protection equipment to anesthesiology clinicians and technicians. Participants were taught using Roussin's Zone 1 simulation techniques including coaching from interprofessional facilitators. Survey data were collected from participants.

Results: Participants' confidence levels increased, with coaching and the use of simulation cited as the most useful elements of the training.

Conclusions: We believe COVID-19 catalyzed many educational initiatives, and though teams drew their own roadmaps to create programs, sharing the learning from these endeavors may inform future similar situations. Lessons of stakeholder buy-in, use of multidisciplinary teams, and building a psychologically safe space can promote rapid uptake of new techniques and technologies.
