    About

    The website describes a simulation for a pediatric drowning case created by Drs. Katie Maguire and Nicole Holm. A 3-year-old girl was found unconscious after submersion in a pool, showing respiratory distress and coughing foam. In the emergency department, she needed intubation but remained hypoxemic, leading to bradycardia and requiring CPR following PALS guidelines. The case highlights the importance of prevention during warmer months when water activities increase drowning risks. It also emphasizes using simulation for training in communication and crisis management skills for medical professionals dealing with such emergencies.
