A great article by colleagues on the importance of representation with CPR manikins to disrupt sexism and cisheteronormativity! A great addition to the literature and why we made this solution happen! Interested in how we did it? DM or email us simulationprogram@unityhealth.to

The ultimate in knowledge translation. Case: cardiac arrest ED simulation to test & train our processes for dual sequential defibrillation. We were joined by @DrCheskes who changed practice w/ @NEJM pub Dose VF study. Amazing start to the day @UnityHealthTO w/ @Sim_UnityHealth

Using #simulation for #HALO (high acuity, low opportunity) events, like a mass casualty. “It allows staff to safely experience the chaos, stress and resource constraints they would face during a mass casualty event. It's like a dress rehearsal that allows for deep learning.”
Andrew Petrosoniak@petrosoniak

Mass casualty events are rare, but they happen. At @UnityHealthTO we use full scale clinical #simulation in the ED to test and train for our response in the event of a Code Orange (mass casualty). Amazing partnership betw our clinical, logistical and @Sim_UnityHealth team.

What a great way to start the day! Multidisciplinary team simulation in our ED @UnityHealthTO this AM made possible by our ED RN educators and @Sim_UnityHealth team! An accidental hypothermia case to test our rewarming processes and we were joined by our CVICU colleagues.

Crash testing the new St Joseph’s ED resus spaces with the experts. Thanks to the Joes’ ED RNs, Clericals, RTs, MDs and Op Readiness for your time & expertise. We’ve identified latent safety threats to resolve before the first pt enters the space! @UnityHealthTO @UnityHealthEd

We just “crash tested” using translational #simulation a more streamlined process of getting critically injured pts to the OR. Far more safe & efficient than “hoping” a new protocol will work. In a complex adaptive system, key to observe how a new system plays out in reality.

Every organization will encounter a crisis. Here’s how we used the concept of pre-mortem to improve. This week we @Sim_UnityHealth conducted a multi-disciplinary #simulation of a complete loss of IT infrastructure. Goal: crash test our processes & ensure ongoing care 🧵 1/

Here's how we're using in situ #simulation and data-driven QI initiatives with our @UnityHealthTO ED team. 🧵 Case: Refractory VF Goals: - Integrate DOSE VF protocol from @DrCheskes et al & tested dual sequential defib logistics - Evaluate CPR performance - Test RN co-lead 1/
