Lifelong simulations: Cologne's children's hospital receives 55,000 euros!

In the children's hospital on Amsterdamer Strasse in Cologne, not only medical care for the youngest is always optimized, but now also the training of the specialists. The association "Kinderkrankenhaus Amsterdamer Straße Köln e.V." recently presented two state -of -the -art simulators that are specially designed for training in emergency situations in children and infants. This reports Rheinische-zwäbblaetter.de . With a total donation of around 55,000 euros, the association not only supports the purchase of the simulators, but also assumes the costs for the training of simulation trainers. It is planned to form the formation of an interprofessional team of nurses and doctors, which will regularly carry out highly specialized emergency team training. "Every second counts in an emergency," says a representative of the association, and this is exactly where these innovative training opportunities come in.

realistic training for the highest demands

The new simulators are characterized by their realistic facial expressions, high body temperature, varying respiratory frequencies and pulse. This enables effective training for life-threatening emergency situations-for example in the case of severe trauma or respiratory locks-, according to the information from Kliniken-koeln.de . Each member of the team will be able to act safely and competently if it matters.

The concept also includes regular implementation of the in -house simulation training, which apply particularly effectively to optimize patient care in an emergency. Based on recommendations from the Kinder -Simulation network from 2020, it is also ensured that the trainers are well prepared. This also includes special simulators that cover different age groups, which makes the training even more targeted.

optimization of emergency care

The case-based interprofessional pediatric simulation training (FIPS), which is offered at the University Children's Clinic, corresponds perfectly with the new training opportunities. FIPS aims to improve the quality of care in pediatric emergency situations. This is realized by an experienced team of pediatricians, pediatricians and child care specialists, which optimizes the processes in emergencies and communication within the team. According to ukw.de , technical procedures such as vascular access and respiratory management can also be practiced realistically.

The introduction of the new simulators is another step in the continuous improvement of medical training in the Cologne Children's Hospital. It is once more evident how important it is to optimally prepare specialists for the challenge in an emergency, because every second really counts in such situations.
