Case-based Scavenger Hunts

Thank you for participating
in Case-based Scavenger Hunts.

​​

​​Before you get started on a scavenger hunt here are some items to help you prepare

​

What you’ll need for all cases:

• Pediatric Specific Medication and Equipment References

• Access to your pediatric equipment: cart, bag, etc.

• A multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, techs, respiratory therapists, pharmacists (3-5 people)

What to tell your Assembled Team:

• A brief case will be provided.

• The patients age and weight will be provided.

• Please discuss what equipment and medications you want to have ready to care for this patient and why.

• As you talk through the case, FIND and TOUCH the right size equipment or medication you want (not just say it) based on the age and weight provided.

• Please keep equipment tidy!

Facilitator Tips: You can prompt you team with statements like:

• “Can you show me where you found that this is the appropriate size equipment for this patient”  (have the team members show how they are using their reference)

• “Can you show me where you found the right medication dose for this patient?”

• If the medication is in a locked code cart or locked tackle box:

  • “Can you show me where the tackle box lives?”

  • “Can you tell me what drawer the medication tray is in our code cart?”

  • “Can you show me where to find out what medications are located on our code cart?”

• If the team is not considering a piece of equipment, you can ask them directly to find it.

• In some cases, you may ask your team if  you have a policy or protocol related to a specific case.
