- Abstract
Student respiratory therapists (SRTs) must complete pediatric training as a part of their clinical internship. Despite limited opportunity to practice and retain those skills, pediatric airway management is one of the most critical skills that health care teams expect graduate RTs to provide in emergencies. Simulation may be a means of providing more accessible clinical preparedness. Our original study, "Pediatric student respiratory therapy education: a comparison of clinical versus simulation-based training," aimed to determine whether RT students who have received simulation-based training in pediatrics demonstrate similar performance in pediatric airway management skills in a simulated setting. We sought to expand and strengthen the original research study by now evaluating the reliability and validity evidence of the scoring tool (the Pediatric Airway Simulation Scoring Rubric, or PASSR) that we designed to assess performance during pediatric airway simulations carried out as part of the original study. As part of the validation process, 15 pre-clinical (2nd year) respiratory therapy students from the Michener Institute and 15 RRTs practicing in pediatrics (from SickKids) completed the airway simulation with two live evaluations and two video evaluations of their performance using the PASSR. Participants were stratified into novice (pre-clinical), intermediate (SRTs completed pediatric rotation from the original study) and experts (RRTs) categories. The study's data analysis is underway, with manuscript preparation to follow, and our objective of this presentation is to share the findings from our secondary validation study described here. This tool may be used across Canada to evaluate the performance of SRTs or RRTs in pediatric airway management and is the first validated tool specifically focused on the role of an assistant in airway intubation.
