Abstract

There are proven benefits to specialized pediatric transport teams. However, there is a need to address a scarcity of clinical practice opportunities and competing demands for technical and nontechnical competence of these teams. Simulation-based training for transport teams should include human factors, crew resource management, and error management training. Simulation-based training is ideally suited to these needs; however, there is a relative paucity of evidence specific to transport medicine. Preliminary work has assessed feasibility and efficacy of simulation-based training for aeromedical transport. Experience suggests that current simulation-based training in other domains provides a foundation for and is applicable to transport medicine. Considering the unique challenges faced by transport professionals, simulation-based training offers great potential benefit in attending to those challenges; addressing performance gaps; and, ultimately, improving patient outcomes.
