Setting up an OSCE starts with five groups of supplies at every station: an examination table or hospital bed, basic health assessment kits, personal protective equipment, task-specific supplies for the skill being tested, and a manikin or task trainer...
A phlebotomy training lab needs seven core supplies to teach safe blood draws: simulation phlebotomy pads, a standardized IV insertion kit, task trainer arms, high-fidelity manikins, artificial blood, needles in the 20 to 23 gauge range, and a sharps...
Effective PPE training comes down to two sequences and the hand hygiene that frames them. Donning runs hand hygiene, gown, mask or respirator, eye protection, then gloves. Doffing removes the most contaminated items first, starting with gloves, and repeats...
A training crash cart should be stocked in the same five categories a real one uses: airway management, IV access, emergency medications, cardiac monitoring, and personal protective equipment. Every item is a simulation equivalent, safe for repeated classroom use...
Infusion and syringe pumps are some of the most common medical instruments used in modern healthcare practices. Doctors and nurses use them to administer a precise amount of liquid-based medication or nutrients into a patient’s body over an extended time...
