Background. In early 2020, the novel coronavirus pandemic forced communities around the globe to shut down and isolate. Routine graduate medical education activities have also been suspended as resident and fellow physicians-in-training have been re-deployed to support critical patient care services. Innovation. We developed a two-part hybrid telesimulation model to teach COVID-19 ventilator management strategies while physically separating a group of learners and an instructor from one another. Learners consisted of non-ICU health care providers with limited experience in ventilator management being redeployed to manage ICU level COVID-19 infected patients. In the first week, the video tutorial has been viewed over 500 times and we have facilitated 14 telesimulation sessions, including 48 participants comprised of hospitalists, emergency medicine physicians and physician assistants, pediatric residents, nurses, and a nurse educator. Conclusion. We believe that the combination of a video tutorial followed by an interactive telesimulation was successful in providing timely education during a coronavirus pandemic. Furthermore, it reinforced the value and flexibility in which simulation education could continue conveniently for learners despite significant restrictions in place during the coronavirus pandemic. Research is needed to assess the efficacy of this hybrid intervention in preparing healthcare workers and to determine if the knowledge is successfully transferred to the clinical setting.

在冠状病毒大流行期间具有社交距离限制的 COVID-19 呼吸机管理培训的远程模拟

背景。2020 年初，新型冠状病毒大流行迫使全球各地的社区关闭和隔离。常规的研究生医学教育活动也已暂停，因为住院医师和受训医师已被重新部署以支持重症患者护理服务。创新。我们开发了一个由两部分组成的混合远程模拟模型，用于教授 COVID-19 呼吸机管理策略，同时将一组学习者和一名讲师在物理上分开。学员包括在呼吸机管理方面经验有限的非 ICU 医疗保健提供者，他们被重新部署以管理 ICU 级别的 COVID-19 感染患者。在第一周，视频教程已被观看超过 500 次，我们促成了 14 次远程模拟会议，其中包括 48 名由住院医生组成的参与者，急诊医师和医师助理、儿科住院医师、护士和护士教育者。结论。我们相信，视频教程和交互式远程模拟相结合，在冠状病毒大流行期间成功地提供了及时的教育。此外，尽管在冠状病毒大流行期间存在重大限制，但它增强了模拟教育可以方便地继续为学习者提供的价值和灵活性。需要研究来评估这种混合干预在准备医护人员方面的有效性，并确定知识是否成功地转移到临床环境中。我们相信，视频教程和交互式远程模拟相结合，在冠状病毒大流行期间成功地提供了及时的教育。此外，尽管在冠状病毒大流行期间存在重大限制，但它增强了模拟教育可以方便地继续为学习者提供的价值和灵活性。需要研究来评估这种混合干预在准备医护人员方面的有效性，并确定知识是否成功转移到临床环境中。我们相信，视频教程和交互式远程模拟相结合，在冠状病毒大流行期间成功地提供了及时的教育。此外，尽管在冠状病毒大流行期间存在重大限制，但它增强了模拟教育可以方便地继续为学习者提供的价值和灵活性。需要研究来评估这种混合干预在准备医护人员方面的有效性，并确定知识是否成功转移到临床环境中。
