Simulation and Teamwork Drills

Practicing to Be Prepared

Simulation and teamwork drills help healthcare providers and others practice PALS skills in a safe, controlled setting.

What Happens in a Drill?

  • Teams run through mock emergencies with manikins and equipment.
  • Each member practices their role—leader, airway manager, compressor, recorder, etc.
  • Afterwards, teams discuss what went well and what could improve.

Why Practice Matters

Repeated practice builds confidence, improves communication, and helps everyone act quickly and calmly in real emergencies.

Fun Fact

Simulation training is used by everyone, from new nurses to experienced doctors!

Examples

  • A team practices responding to a child with sudden cardiac arrest.

  • Nurses run a drill for a child who stops breathing due to an allergic reaction.
