Niagara Health says they learned to prevent last year's RSV, flu and COVID outbreaks
Emergency room medical staff in Niagara have been brushing up on their skills to treat potentially life-threatening situations due to RSV, the flu and COVID-19.
Niagara Health says this is due to the wave of infections in children that flooded hospitals last fall in Ontario.
This region got together with MacMaster Children's hospital in Hamilton, for some mock pediatric emergency sessions, using high tech mannequins.
There were three sessions, in October and this month, at St. Catharines, Welland and Niagara Falls hospitals, and then trainees transfered patients to Hamilton.
Niagara Health says the scenarios involved dealing with seizures, respiratory failure and peumonia.
