The website describes a medical simulation case for treating severe asthma in children. It follows a 5-year-old boy with worsening asthma symptoms who doesn't respond to basic treatments. The team must use advanced treatments like epinephrine, magnesium, and ketamine. If untreated aggressively, the child may need intubation due to fatigue and risk of arrest. The scenario helps train healthcare providers in managing critical pediatric cases by improving their skills and teamwork under pressure. It includes detailed steps for treatment progression, technical requirements, patient information, and debriefing questions for learning purposes.
