Evidence¶

Apara Teleireoluwa 2024¶

Apara Teleireoluwa, Hogan Tom, Peterson Jennifer L H. (2024). Death of the paediatric manikin: a scoping review. BMJ Paediatrics Open. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjpo-2024-002941

q2 · i? · review · r3

Qualitative theme from the included studies, particularly Lizotte 2015, where professionals found a non-responding manikin felt 'unusual'. All participants agreed experiencing manikin death scenarios was beneficial for their training.

"Reassurance from the facilitator that death of the manikin was a learning objective for the scenario and the opportunity to participate in a facilitated debrief allowed participants to work through their discomfort."
