Title
Online Simulation Curriculum to Prepare Interdisciplinary Medical Teams for Electronic Dance Music Festivals
Length of Presentation
Background/Purpose
Patient care in Electronic Dance Music (EDM) festivals presents unique challenges, including resource limitations, loud music, crowdedness, and working in ad hoc teams. We developed an online program to prepare medical teams to assess and manage life-threatening cases uncommon to most practices.
Summary of the Innovation
Teams of 4-5 healthcare providers/trainees participated in 3 online simulations (cardiac arrest, serotonin toxicity, and toxin-induced seizure). A facilitator managed case progression through a Zoom screen-share of Google Forms. Participants completed self-efficacy and knowledge assessments 1 week pre- and post-session, as well as surveys immediately post-session, reflecting on teamwork, take-home learning points, and program quality.
Conclusion
Average self-efficacy ratings (n=18) increased pre- vs. post-session (one-tail repeated-measures t-test) for cardiac arrest (3.80 to 4.31/5.00; p<0.01), serotonin toxicity (2.60 to 4.13/5.00; p<0.001), and seizure (2.70 to 3.83/5.00; p<0.001). Average knowledge (n=18) increased pre- vs. post-session (one-tail repeated-measures t-test) for all cases (p<0.001): cardiac arrest (67% to 80%), serotonin toxicity (65% to 83%), and seizure (54% to 76%). Participants reported collaborative decision-making and communication as teamwork strengths. Commonly reported learning points were related to pharmacology/toxicology, clinical approaches, and differential diagnoses. Average program satisfaction rating (n=22) was 4.36/5.00. Online simulation has several benefits: i) serves as an icebreaker for teams prior to arriving at events, ii) eliminates physical distractions (e.g. loud music) to focus on clinical knowledge and approaches, and iii) offers convenience and cost-savings.
