Simulation Training to Increase Holding of Fragile Infants in Cardiac Intensive Care Units.

Background: Promoting bonding and neurodevelopmental care is an important element in the cardiovascular intensive care unit (CICU); however, holding of infants by family members is inconsistently practiced. Objectives: This quality improvement study aimed to safely increase the holding of medically...

      ab: Background: Promoting bonding and neurodevelopmental care is an important element in the cardiovascular intensive care unit (CICU); however, holding of infants by family members is inconsistently practiced. Objectives: This quality improvement study aimed to safely increase the holding of medically complex infants in the CICU by developing a holding guideline and offering simulation-based staff education. Methods: Using consensus methodology and high-fidelity simulation, an expert work group created a holding guideline and training to increase staff confidence and competence in holding critically ill infants in the CICU. The effectiveness of the intervention was tested via a postintervention survey used to assess participants' confidence in and comfort with holding critically ill infants and elicit suggestions for further support. Participants who engaged with the mannequin were surveyed to assess the validity of the simulation trainer. Results: After the intervention, participants (N = 130) reported increased confidence with infant holding (76%) and greater confidence in preparing families to hold their infants. Participants (95%) strongly agreed that the simulation enabled realistic, safe practice in holding a medically complex infant with catheters and tubes. More years of experience and engagement with the simulation trainer were associated with increased posttraining confidence. Participants cited increased resources, practice, and adherence monitoring as key supports for infant holding. Conclusions: Expert group consensus with high-fidelity simulation training is a feasible, safe, and reliable method for teaching higher risk skills and guiding protocol development.
