Penn Presbyterian physicians and nurses who participated in the training had to solve sepsis-related clues, just like an escape room game, to diagnose and treat a mock patient with sepsis in under one hour. The room, which contained additional medical equipment as a decoy, forced the clinicians to think critically as if the practice were a real-life situation.
“This way it was more interactive, more hands-on, and people would retain knowledge about sepsis,” Lauren McPeake, RN, nurse at Penn Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, told ABC 6.
