Abstract Background Pediatric emergency medicine training is in its infancy in India. Simulation provides an educational avenue to equip trainees with the skills to improve pediatric care. We hypothesized that a simulation-based curriculum can improve Indian post-graduate emergency medicine (EM) trainees’ self-efficacy, knowledge, and skills in pediatric care. Methods We designed a simulation-based curriculum for management of common pediatric emergencies including sepsis, trauma, and respiratory illness and pediatric-specific procedures including vascular access and airway skills. Training included didactics, procedural skill stations, and simulation. Measures included a self-efficacy survey, knowledge test, skills checklist, and follow-up survey. Results were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and paired-samples t test. A 6-month follow-up survey was done to evaluate lasting effects of the intervention. Results Seventy residents from four academic hospitals in India participated. Trainees reported feeling significantly more confident, after training, in performing procedures, and managing pediatric emergencies (p < 0.001). After the simulation-based curriculum, trainees demonstrated an increase in medical knowledge of 19% (p < 0.01) and improvement in procedural skills from baseline to mastery of 18%, 20%, 16%, and 19% for intubation, bag-valve mask ventilation, intravenous access, and intraosseous access respectively (p < 0.01). At 6-month follow-up, self-efficacy in procedural skills and management of pediatric emergencies improved from baseline. Conclusions A simulation-based curriculum is an effective and sustainable way to improve Indian post-graduate EM trainees’ self-efficacy, knowledge, and skills in pediatric emergency care.

The Past ◽  

This chapter offers a review of Sahelian thought across the centuries from the griots and clerics of the past to contemporary intelligentsias. The review is paired with a reflection on how the Sahel shaped the work and consciousness of its thinkers—through its history as well as through more intangible but no less potent factors such as the aesthetics deriving from its austere environment. Given this focus, thinkers are not reviewed here just because they were born in the Sahel, but as participants in the particular intellectual consciousness attached to the region. Thus, some prominent Sahel-born thinkers—Senghor, Cheikh Anta Diop—are not included, but the discussion extends to film, Islam, and religious preaching in addition to the more conventional categories of novelists and theorists.
