HThe most dramatic simulation featured a gunshot “victim.” Hospital partner Cole- San Gabriel Valley Perinatal Medical Group, Inc. Schaefer Ambulance Service rushed the bleeding “man” into the auditorium, where a Dr. and Mrs. Thomas L. Satrom team of Hospital professionals swung into action, demonstrating multiple life-saving Dr. Rakesh Sinha techniques while showing off the mannequin’s amazing capabilities. Dr. and Mrs. Bao C. Tran With assistance from PVHMC Foundation, the Hospital purchased four simulation Mrs. Lisa Vigoa mannequins: Sim Man, Sim Mom (who gives birth), Sim Junior (which represents an West Coast University 8-year-old child) and Sim Newbie (representing a 6 pound newborn just after birth). The Mr. and Mrs. Richard E. Yochum mannequins have human-like skin, a pulse and true-to-life weight. They can breathe, talk, go into cardiac arrest and more. Caregivers will use the mannequins to sharpen their clinical skills in true-to-life medical scenarios that are programmed and controlled by a technical Sim Specialist. The simulations are videotaped so caregivers can review them later with an educator. Simulations will occur directly on Hospital units, explained Nursing Education Manager, Ann Mendoza RN, BSN; this allows staff to learn in their everyday working environments. In addition to Ann, six educators and three clinical nurse specialists have been trained to run the simulations in every area of the Hospital. The goal during a simulation is to have everyone who would normally care for that patient participate; Physicians, Nurses, Anesthesiologists, Respiratory Therapists – even representatives from Radiology, Lab and Pharmacy. “Simulations will help us improve patient safety, clinical outcomes and teamwork,” said Hellen Rodriguez, MD, Chair of PVHMC Foundation and a champion of the simulation program. “They help ensure everyone knows the best procedures, especially for occurrences that happen rarely. Simulations will help us take a team of individuals, each of whom is an expert in his or her field, and turn them into an expert team.” If you would like to make a gift to the simulation program, please contact the Foundation office, 909.865.9139. • Ann Mendoza, RN, BSN, Manager of Nursing Education with Sim Newbie
