This is the first large-scale report of the learning needs for individual physicians who see critically unwell children in emergency departments (EDs)
Our objective was to perform an international survey of physicians who regularly care for children in emergency settings to obtain their views on how frequently they need to practice to reinforce the necessary skill set, and their preferred learning modalities for critical procedures in children. Study design This was a multicenter cross-sectional survey of senior EM physicians working in EDs affiliated with Pediatric Emergency Research Networks (PERN).(12) The survey was developed iteratively, through rounds of investigator contribution and refinement, underpinned by a review of relevant literature.[8,9,10,11, 13,14,15,16,17,18]
We report the optimal frequency of practice and preferred practice/learning strategies for paediatric critical procedures for 1,322 physicians who treat children in EDs in 96 hospitals, in 14 countries
Summary
This is the first large-scale report of the learning needs for individual physicians who see critically unwell children in EDs. Previous work in this area has merely highlighted the infrequency with which individual physicians undertake these critical procedures when working in EDs in the United States[10] and Australia[11] indicating a possible educational need for further practice. These educational needs have now been confirm
