Abstract
Using a safe and controlled simulation environment, authors develop an effective and realistic oropharyngeal bleeding mass scenario that was well received by participants in preparing them for real life scenarios.
Highlights
Oropharyngeal hemorrhage is a rare but life-threatening complication of oropharyngeal tumors
The goals of the study were to apply airway management and leadership skills in the context of a clinical team as well as to identify and adapt to clinical changes in real time. This scenario was designed for the training of first year residents, it can be used for residents at any level of training
An average score of 4.7 points was obtained for this simulation
Summary
Oropharyngeal hemorrhage is a rare but life-threatening complication of oropharyngeal tumors. Methods: In this study, we created a simulation scenario in which junior otolaryngology residents learned to properly and safely manage a patient with an oropharyngeal bleed while learning to properly interact and communicate with fellow healthcare providers in a tense, emergent situation. Due to the emergent nature of these bleeds, the approach to rapid patient stabilization likely involves providers from different specialties working side by side to manage this life-threatening condition This can make for a stressful setting in which conflicting medical opinions pertaining to management may arise. With all of this in mind, we created a simulation scenario in which our junior residents learned to properly and safely manage a patient with an oropharyngeal bleed while learning to properly interact and communicate with fellow healthcare providers in a tense, emergent situation. The goals of the study were to apply airway management and leadership skills in the context of a clinical team as well as to identify and adapt to clinical changes in real time
