Instructor Materials

Facilitator Case Map

Use these labels for setup and debrief; learner-facing scenario cards intentionally hide the key diagnosis or management issue.

  • Case 1: Metabolic derangements / ESRD - asystole versus fine VF.
  • Case 2: VF/VT arrest with post-ROSC ECG and stabilization.
  • Case 3: Polymorphic VT/TdP after QT-prolonging medications.
  • Case 4: Tachycardia during RRT with adenosine guardrails.
  • Case 5: Complete heart block / unstable bradycardia.

Session Setup

  • Confirm the 2026 pre- and post-session survey links before publishing.
  • Confirm site-specific rapid response, code blue, shock team, cath lab, brain attack, and VA transfer workflows.
  • Confirm whether each site has a nurse-led critical care outreach workflow before formal RRT activation.
  • Confirm how bedside nurses, charge nurses, outreach nurses, and critical care nurses expect residents to communicate during RRT/code events.
  • Decide which case station will explicitly assess use of bedside/outreach expertise for next-step planning.
  • Confirm the Zoll model and defibrillator workflow learners will practice.
  • Keep public slides learner-safe; put facilitator prompts, case answers, and timing notes in the preceptor guide.

What To Update After Each Cohort

  • Survey links and QR codes.
  • Manual PDF and quick-reference screenshots.
  • Case order, scenario wording, and any site-specific changes.
  • Nurse/outreach feedback on whether the scripts match actual workflow.
  • Scenario notes about resident/nurse interface problems observed during simulation.
  • Any revised activation criteria or follow-up expectations from nurse response teams.
  • References that materially affect resuscitation leadership, termination, family presence, or rapid response systems.
  • README, CITATION.cff, and release/archive notes.
