Children's Minnesota in Minneapolis, has opened an on-site pediatric simulation center that features an exact replica of a children’s intensive care unit, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
In 2015, the facility's staff spent more than 4,000 hours of training at an off-site location or as space was available in patient units.
The center uses computerized infant- and child-sized mannequins, along with sights and sounds, to reproduce a clinical environment that provides the same challenges as a real emergency, the article said.
A control room allows technicians to run three simulations simultaneously. A debriefing room allows video playback to discuss the simulation.
