Anyone have any tips or recommendation on how to run Neonatal mock codes?

We have a relatively large simulation unit inhouse and we practise on a regular basis.

If you come to our coming meetup in Vienna, you should participate in their workshop (led by two neonatologists and two neonatal nurses)

Need more details to give concrete advice:

1) What are your goals in conducting simulations?

2) Who are you targeting? (MDs, RNs, NNPs, RTs, all of the above?)

3) What resources do you have? (It would be stupid of me to tell you about fancy high fidelity simulators if you don't have that sort of infrastructure)

 

The one universal I can endorse is that everyone needs to buy into the fact that these are done for the good of our patients and there can be no judgement.  At our institution, that means the no information on individual performance ever gets reported outside the people at that specific mock code.  It has to be 'ok' to fail in the mock code.
