Yesterday we held our annual Critical Care Procedure day, where both the residents and attendings refresh their skills in performing critical invasive procedures, some of which are rare. To keep their skills well-oiled, they train on sim mannequins. Our SIM Queen Dr. Ilana Baltuch set up several stations in our Crozer Sim Lab.

Practice makes perfect!

Dr. Hojati is getting her hands on cric

Sengstaken Blakemore tube insertion – very rare procedure in real life to stop upper GI bleed.

Dr. Conrad Irons is a pro and will save any patient with GI bleeding

Babies also like to participate in critical procedures. Little Tamara Isabelle Kallush is here to learnEmergency Medicine from the very early age

Seems like Dr. Deanna Hojati is ready to kidnap this baby. And looks like Tamara Isabella is not against it at all!
