Sepsis, the body's extreme and life-threatening response to an infection, can lead to septic shock, multiple organ failure, and death if not recognized early and managed promptly.

Achieving student engagement is a fundamental challenge in any form of education, especially when the student is a beginner or is someone refreshing their skills. If you are an instructor in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), you've likely struggled to keep people engaged - especially when teaching laypeople.

When disasters occur, healthcare providers play a critical role as part of the response team. Although hospitals have general emergency management plans in place, experts say the majority of facilities are not prepared for large-scale catastrophes.

Before emergency medical services (EMS) arrive to the scene, bystanders have the opportunity to greatly influence the victim's survival outcome. When bystanders perform CPR within the first two minutes, the victim’s rate of survival can double or triple.

If your goal is to improve the CPR learning experience, eLearning may be the answer...

Learners are firmly rooted in digital media and they prefer to interact with material in a way that feels familiar. For this reason, eLearning has become a leading learning method to increase classroom engagement and retention.

Simulation training can enable healthcare providers to accurately diagnose and treat sepsis. Using simulation scenarios to learn to identify standard and severe sepsis, to recognize sepsis in high-risk patients, to differentiate between sepsis and other conditions, and to assess and treat septic shock are among some of the learning objectives for simulation training.

In this article, we examine a range of simulation methods. Building on expert observations, we share how each can support the needs of your learners and help reduce risk in maternal and newborn care.
