Bedside critical care training: A quasi-experimental study in the paediatric emergency department of a referral hospital in Nigeria

Abstract

Paediatric emergency department clinical staff desire hands-on critical care training in developing settings. Bedside training improves the knowledge and skills of nursing staff in non-invasive ventilation. Bedside training also builds the capacity of medical staff in invasive ventilation in the emergency department. Overall, short-term bedside training enhances the clinical knowledge and self-reported critical care practice of clinical staff in Children's Emergency Room.
