Das Projekt in Kürze

Hintergrund	Paediatric Intensive Care units (PICU) in Romania are mainly run by Anaesthesiologists who are trained for adult care. A subspecialisation of intensive care for other disciplines does not exist. Only larger hospitals can afford having paediatricians work in PICU additionally to the Anaesthesiologists. Thus, most PICUs in Romania do not benefit from specialist paediatric care, but base their services on adult care principles.
Ziele	Romanian children benefit from improved health outcomes following paediatric intensive care services Purpose: Paediatricians who passed the "Atestat" program on paediatric intensive care deliver high quality PICU services based on international standards. The intermediate outcomes are: Regional training centres deliver a two year paediatric intensive care program with “Atestat” according to Romanian regulations and adapted to EU standards (ESPNIC) PICU patients benefit from high quality services provided according to locally implemented Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG), which correspond to international standards
Zielgruppen	Romanian paediatric and intensive care health professionals
Aktivitäten	The EA conducted a training needs assessment, a review of training curricula in collaboration with the EU efforts of ESPNIC and organised a training of trainers event to upgrade the capacity of Romanian training centres. Clinical Practice Guidelines were updated and, where necessary, developed corresponding to West-European standards. Outcome oriented project progress monitoring were done through an M&E system, following the defined indicators.
Resultate	Erreichte Resultate: In partnership with the University of Geneva, a specialisation program for paediatric intensive care was developed. A curriculum with 5 training modules aligned with the European Association of paediatric intensive care was developed and approved by Romanian Ministry of Health.
