A key competency for all health-care workers (HCWs) who care for children is the ability to respond to a child in respiratory or cardiorespiratory arrest. However, evidence suggests that medical and nursing staff may not have the knowledge and clinical skills to respond to these emergencies. The aim of this project was to create a standardised, evidence-based, paediatric life support course that would be available free to all HCWs in New South Wales (NSW), including NSW Ambulance.
A paediatric life support course was designed along current education principles. It used e-learning as pre-learning and a face-to-face short practical course, combining team work and communication with practical paediatric resuscitation skills training. The programme was designed to empower local trainers to deliver a standardised course to local participants.
A total of 14,000 participants have completed the mandatory e-learning component, and over 8600 participants have completed the short practical course, across all NSW Local Health Districts, including NSW Ambulance. RESUS4KIDS has also been adopted by the universities of Sydney and Newcastle undergraduate medical and nursing programmes. Outside of NSW and ACT, over 400 participants have completed the course in facilities in Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and the Northern Territory.
We have developed a course that is available, at no cost to individuals or facilities, to all HCWs in NSW, including students, paramedics and general practitioners. We would encourage all other jurisdictions to consider adopting the programme.
对于所有照顾儿童的医护人员而言，一项关键能力是对呼吸或心肺骤停儿童做出反应的能力。然而，有证据表明，医护人员可能不具备应对这些紧急情况的知识和临床技能。本项目的目的是创建一门标准化、循证的儿科生命支持课程，该课程将免费提供给新南威尔士州（NSW）的所有医护人员，包括新南威尔士州救护车服务人员。
根据现行教育原则设计了一门儿科生命支持课程。它采用电子学习作为预学习内容，并辅以面对面的短期实践课程，将团队协作与沟通和儿科复苏技能实践培训相结合。该项目旨在使当地培训人员能够为当地参与者提供标准化课程。
在新南威尔士州所有地方卫生区，包括新南威尔士州救护车服务人员在内，共有14000名参与者完成了强制性电子学习部分，超过8600名参与者完成了短期实践课程。悉尼大学和纽卡斯尔大学的本科医学和护理课程也采用了“儿童复苏4KIDS”项目。在新南威尔士州和澳大利亚首都直辖区以外，昆士兰州、南澳大利亚州、维多利亚州和北领地的机构中有400多名参与者完成了该课程。
我们开发了一门课程，新南威尔士州的所有医护人员，包括学生、护理人员和全科医生，均可免费参与，无论是个人还是机构。我们鼓励所有其他司法管辖区考虑采用该项目。
