Simulation Training in the Pediatric Tracheostomy and Home Ventilator Population
Sponsor: Medical College of Wisconsin
Summary
The investigators will develop, refine and pilot a highly-realistic simulation program that will allow caregivers opportunities to manage critical situations as it pertains to a medically complex child dependent on tracheostomy with or without home ventilation. The investigators hope to demonstrate that the use of highly realistic simulation training will improve hospital utilization as caregivers will have a more realistic understanding of clinical and equipment-related emergencies that may occur outpatient.

Interventions
Simulation
Simulation involves the use of a highly realistic tracheostomy mannequin and audiovisual devices which will be used to replicate emergent clinical situations. If home invasive ventilation is anticipated, a home ventilator will be used. The simulation will last approximately 2 hours and will end with reviewing the taped session as part of debriefing. Both active arms will occur in the simulation center or sleep lab and replicate the same clinical situations by the same simulation instructor.
