The document describes a web-based learning project in pediatric anesthesia between the Scandinavian Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (SSAI) and the European Society of Paediatric Anaesthesiology (ESPA). The project aims to establish an e-learning platform using 250 video presentations from past ESPA conferences on topics like coagulation, adverse respiratory events, and neurotoxicity. Initial results included 3 modules with videos, questions, and case studies. The project formalized a collaboration between SSAI and ESPA and hopes to expand the network and resources over time while maintaining the platform.

3. Web based learning in paediatric anaesthesia
An educational project from SSAI and ESPA
• Dr. Karina Houborg, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark
• Dr. Hanna Fovaeus, Queen Silvia Childrens hospital, Sweden
• Dr. Steinunn Hauksdottir, Karolinska University Hospital,
Sweden
• Dr. Mathias Johansen, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark
• Dr. Torsten Lauritsen, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark
4. Overview
• SSAI fellowship program ”Paediatric Anaesthesia
and Intensive Care Medicine”
• Learning and e-learning
• The project
• Advantages and drawbacks
• Conclusion and ”looking into the future”
5. SSAI fellowship program
• 24 months of training in paediatric anaesthesia and
intensive care
• 3 months (minimum) of paediatric intensive care medicine
• 1 month of exchange in another country
• 4 theoretical courses
• Assessment of theoretical knowledge
• Academic project
6. Learning
• Acquire, modify and reinforce existing knowledge
• Learn, evolve and improve
• How are we performing?
7. Aim: Incidence of severe critical events in paediatric
anaesthesia
Results: Large variability in the practice of paediatric
anaesthesia
Conclusion: Target education of anaesthesiologists and
their teams and implement strategies for quality
improvement in paediatric anaesthesia
8. What is the best modality for
acquiring new knowledge?
• There is no simple answer to this question !
• Combining appropriate concurrent multimedia
modalities such as images, video, displaying text and
playing audio seems to improve learning
• Key elements of e-learning
9. E-learning
• Prominent role in conventional education,
adult education and medical training
• Flexibility, broad resource-sharing capacity
and cost-effectiveness
• Comfortable and accessible place and time to
study
10. Web based learning in paediatric anaesthesia
an educational project from SSAI and ESPA
Primary aim:
Establish an e-learning platform based on 7 years of
high quality ESPA congress video material, peer
reviewed articles, case scenarios and multiple-choice
questions
Secondary aim:
Establish a formal collaboration between ESPA and SSAI
11. Methods
• 250 ESPA congress video presentations
• 26 video presentations:
I. Coagulation and transfusion
II. Adverse respiratory events
III. Neurotoxicity
• Videos of approximately 5-10 minutes in length
12. Methods
• Videos + Multiple choice questions + Case scenarios
• References to peer-reviewed articles
• Web based course in paediatric anaesthesia
13. Results
• Three e-learning modules bearing the titles:
I. “Coagulation & Transfusion”
II. “Adverse respiratory events”
III. “Neurotoxicity”
• A formal collaboration between the board of directors at SSAI
and ESPA has been established
32. Looking into the future
• Expanding an already existing national and international
professional network
• Development of not only theoretical modules but also tutorial
videos concerning paediatric anaesthesia
33. Perspectives
• One of the biggest challenges is the continuous professional
maintenance of an e-learning platform
• An e-learning platform must always be up-to-date
• An e-learning platform should be a perceived as a common
European project
• Problem-solving and higher-order reasoning skills should be
tested in a supervised clinical setting
34. Conclusion
• We have been able to establish the foundation for a European
based paediatric anaesthesia e-learning platform
• The implementation of a European based paediatric e-
learning platform could potentially lead to a more common
way of providing anaesthesia for our smallest patients
