ABSTRACT
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has created many challenges for health care providers. At the forefront is the need to balance optimal patient care with the safety of those providing that care. This is especially true during resuscitations where life-saving procedures cause widespread aerosolization of the virus. Efforts to mitigate this exposure to front-line providers are therefore paramount. We share how we used simulation to prepare our pediatric emergency department for COVID-19 resuscitations.
