About

The simulation describes a medical case about an 8-year-old boy who choked on a sausage, causing severe airway blockage. He was brought to the emergency room with very low oxygen levels and was close to cardiac arrest. The case highlights the importance of quick action in such emergencies, especially with children. The scenario is used for training healthcare providers in managing pediatric airway obstructions effectively through teamwork and communication strategies during resuscitation efforts.
