In-Situ Simulation for Identifying LSTs
- In-situ simulation (ISS) can reveal latent safety threats (LSTs) in emergency medicine, offering valuable insights for improving patient safety.
- However, the follow-up and implementation of solutions for identified LSTs are crucial for the effectiveness of ISS.
Examples of Latent Safety Threats
- Victoria Brazel shared examples of LSTs, such as similar-looking but different medication ampoules (adrenaline and Valium) stored together.
- Another example involved proctoscopes and vaginal speculums kept on the same trolley, highlighting potential risks.
Medication Room Access Issue
- Ben Simon shared an anecdote about a medication room setup issue where ED nurses were locked out during resuscitations.
- A med student had access due to security code discrepancies, highlighting a critical system process issue.
