Combined Interval Training and Scenario Simulation for ALS Training of Medical Students

Summary

This study aims to investigate medical students' mastery of advanced life support skills when using scenario-based simulation combined with intermittent training, compared to traditional teaching methods.

Conditions

• Advanced Life Support Operational Skills and Theoretical Knowledge Learning and Memorization

Interventions

OTHER

Traditional Training Group

Through basic skills training and testing, confirm that all trainees have mastered the steps of adult external cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), tracheal intubation procedures, and the operational steps of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). And validated students' mastery of ECG interpretation for cardiac arrest and arrhythmias, along with pharmacology knowledge of cardiovascular emergency medications through assessment questions. After unified training, no further training is arranged for the traditional training group, and the post-test is conducted on the 7th day.

OTHER

Traditional Training plus Interval Training Group

Through basic skills training and testing, confirm that all trainees have mastered the steps of adult external cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), tracheal intubation procedures, and the operational steps of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). And validated students' mastery of ECG interpretation for cardiac arrest and arrhythmias, along with pharmacology knowledge of cardiovascular emergency medications through assessment questions. The traditional training combined with interval training group receives theoretical and skill knowledge reviews on days 2, 4 and 6 after unified training, and takes the post-test on day 7.

OTHER

Scenario Simulation Group

The scenario simulation group learns advanced life support theories and practical skills through scenario simulation cases. A pre-test is implemented after learning to confirm that all trainees have mastered relevant theories and operational skills. The pre-test includes cardiopulmonary resuscitation, defibrillation, endotracheal intubation, electrocardiogram interpretation and emergency drug administration, and all trainees achieve qualified scores. No further review on advanced life support is arranged thereafter, and the post-test is carried out on the 7th day.

OTHER

Scenario Simulation plus Interval Training Group

Members of the scenario simulation combined with interval training group learn advanced life support theories and practical operational skills through scenario simulation cases. A pre-test is arranged after learning to ensure all trainees have mastered relevant theories and operational skills. The pre-test covers cardiopulmonary resuscitation, defibrillation, endotracheal intubation, electrocardiogram interpretation and emergency medication application, and all trainees pass the pre-test. They conduct reviews of standard scenario simulation videos and theoretical knowledge on days 2, 4 and 6, and receive the post-test on day 7.
