More realistic presentation of asthma, enough information and not so emergent that we were still able to think through the scenario and escalate care as needed.

Missed most of the scenario but was present for the debrief which presented some very valuable suggestions for improvement

Excellent scenario

Great scenario. Realistic.

Very useful and appropriate case
