Report and Information Provided To Participants Prior To Simulation
Past History: Mr. Dumphey is a 74 year old widower who lives alone and relies on his
daughter to assist him with his medical needs. He worked for metro transit for 35 years
in the maintenance yard and uses the bus when he needs groceries. He has no friends
and tends to stay to himself. He has a history of uncontrolled hypertension and he

forgets to take his antihypertensive medications on a regular basis. He was recently
diagnosed with atrial fibrillation on his last visit to his doctor 3 months ago. He has
started medication. He still smokes 1/2 a pack a day as he has for 50 years even though
he has been told to quit by his PCP. His daughter is supportive but exhausted and
worried as this is the third time in the past year he has been admitted to the hospital for a
fall.
Present Illness: Mr. Dumphey is transferring to your ICU for BP management and
potential treatment for stroke. On the floor, he developed sudden on-set of word finding
difficulty, coughing/distress, and right-sided weakness. He’s been to CT, which shows a
sub-arachnoid hemorrhage around, in addition to a left MCA infarct. His daughter is
with him.

Debriefing Guidelines
(Remember to identify important concepts or curricular threads that are specific to your
program)
1. Leave the simulation room and go to a conference room, if possible. It allows for deescalation of emotions.
2. Solicit and validate emotions briefly. Validate simisms (the simulation isn’t 100% accurate
due to different equipment, personnel etc)
3. What went WELL in this simulation?
4. What DID NOT go well in this simulation?
5. If you could do it again, what would you do differently?
6. Summarize:
“What I hear you saying is . . .”
