Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the basic pediatric emergency competencies of physicians and nurses in provincial and district hospitals in Lao Cai Province, aiming to propose appropriate intervention and training strategies.


Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted from January to March 2024. The study participants included healthcare providers (doctors and nurses) directly involved in the care and treatment of pediatric patients at district hospitals and Lao Cai Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital. The assessment involved theoretical examinations and direct observation of practical emergency skills to evaluate knowledge and prociency in basic pediatric emergency procedures.


Results: A total of 128 healthcare providers participated in the study with an average age of 36 years. Of these, 26.6% were male and 73.4% female. The average years of experience in healthcare was 12 years, and in hospitals approximately 10 years. The mean scores for theoretical knowledge of pediatric emergency ranged from 38/100 to 57/100, depending on the hospital. Less than 50% of participants mastered essential emergency skills. Specically, correct chest compression technique was performed by 71% for older children, 72% for infants using two hands, over 70% correctly performed bag-valve-mask ventilation. However, the prociency in endotracheal intubation was low, with less than 50% performing the technique correctly.


Conclusion: The pediatric emergency competencies of physicians and nurses in provincial and district hospitals in Lao Cai remain limited. Implementing appropriate training programs is essential to enhance basic pediatric emergency skills at the local level.
