Final prioritised list of technical procedures in paediatrics that should be integrated in simulation-based curricula

Procedure groupDescription
1Airway management, acute, neonatalSecuring airway including optimal positioning, face mask ventilation, use of T-piece resuscitator (eg, Neopuff), oropharyngeal airway, nasopharyngeal airway, suction and optimal positioning. Use of mask‐CPAP and DUOPAP.
2Airway management, acute, non-neonatalSecuring airway including optimal positioning, face mask ventilation, use of oropharyngeal airway and suction.
3Peripheral intravenous and intraosseous access, non-neonatalPeripheral iv-access including use of different kinds of vein finders. Use of scalp veins for access in infants. Intraosseous access including site selection in different ages.
4Vascular access, neonatalPeripheral intravenous access, umbilical vein catheterisation, umbilical artery catheterisation and peripherally inserted central venous catheters (lines)
5Advanced heart lung resuscitationChest compressions and face mask ventilation for adolescents, children and neonates. Use of defibrillator—manual and automated external defibrillator
6Lumbar punctureFor adolescents, children and neonates
7Intraosseous access, neonatalIntraosseous access in neonates including correct intraosseous needle positioning and the avoidance of dislodgement.
8Pneumothorax managementNeedle decompression of pneumothorax.
9Foreign bodies of the airway; airway managementAirway management, removing visible foreign body, use of back blows and abdominal thrusts.
10Neurological examination of the child less than 1 year of ageNeurological examination including ‘the 180° examination’.
11Suprapubic bladder aspirationSuprapubic aspiration to take a urine sample, with or without ultrasound guidance.
12Injections; intradermal, subcutaneous, intramuscularDifferent kinds of injection including the use of an epinephrine auto injector.
13Neurological examination of the child above 1 year of ageExamination of sensory function, motor function, reflexes, cranial nerves, cognition and development. Hyperventilation test for Absence seizures.
14Bladder catheterisationUrinary catheterisation, both gender and all paediatric ages.
