Summary

Bedside clinical case learning, such for respiratory distress, represent a challenge for medical teachers, especially in critical conditions. In fact, this kind of learning implicate the presence of an appropriate case (the patient itself), framework and may be time consuming which could compromise the patient's safety and wellbeing.

New pedagogic tools have emerged to strengthen the medical reasoning and the acquisition of knowledge. in recent years, the development of medical simulation has found a growing interest in the medical teaching field. Contextualization, reproducibility and reliability are the characteristics of high-fidelity simulation (HFS) which guarantee a lifetime experience of clinical conditions without putting at risk patient's safety and comfort.

The aim of this study is to assess the impact of HFS on fifth year medical students learning skills in the assessement and management of an acute asthma attack in the emergency room, and to compares it to other modern teaching tools such as "video-case"

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

High Fidelity Simulation

A HFS session for an asthma attack require: * a 5 minutes briefing session: case and equipments presentation and choice of participants * 15 minutes of actual simulation * 40 minutes of debriefing A pre and a post test will be taken by the students before and after the session and a satisfaction questionnaire at the end of the course. Also, another test will be done after 7 days of the course.

OTHER

Video case

a video case (or video box) session in which students will attend a video-projection of a real case of an asthma attack and discuss with the trainer the different steps of the assessement and management of an asthma attack. A pre and a post test will be taken by the students before and after the session and a satisfaction questionnaire at the end of the course. Also, another test will be done after 7 days of the course.
