0062 Using real time a&e in-situ simulation to assess protocol adherence and non-technical skills in the emergency management of paediatric convulsive status epilepticus in yorkshire and the humber
Background/contextConvulsive status epilepticus (CSE) is the most common childhood medical neurological emergency, and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.1 A retrospective one-year audit of patients admitted to a tertiary paediatric ICU from Yorkshire/Humber hospitals for CSE requiring rapid sequence induction (RSI) demonstrated that of 23 patients:9 (40%) had delay in receiving benzodiazepine, Phenytoin and RSI respectively5 (21%) had received excessive/inadequate benzodiazepines.These are recognised reasons for inappropriate management of CSE.2 Yet to date no study has looked into the reasons as to why this occurs.MethodologyTo perform real time A&E in-situ multidisciplinary simulation of paediatric CSE requiring RSI in Yorkshire/Humber hospitals.By direct observation of the simulation with appropriate feedback we intend to identify/analyse:Adherence to the local hospital protocol of the emergency management of CSE (based on NICE CG137 guidance)3 Non-technical skillsLatent risksResults/outcomesTo date we have completed successful simulations in two tertiary children’s hospitals, with further planned in three district hospitals.Findings have shown a lack of adherence to protocols due to deficiencies in knowledge of the management of CSE.Non-technical concerns included confused leadership and task overload of nursing staff, resulting in inappropriate administration of Phenytoin.Latent risks identified include an emergency alarm in one A&E not being heard throughout the department, resulting in delay of treatment.Potential impactBy using simulation in this method we hope to accurately identify whether rescue medication is delayed or not, as per guidance. And importantly we may identify potential reasons as to why this may occur, with non-technical skills being a suspected major influence.By ensuring the simulation is multi-centred across the region, common themes and latent risks may be identified, thus ensuring targeted strategies for improving the care of the children in Yorkshire and the Humber.ReferencesRiviello JJ, et al.
