Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of theoretical and practical training on intermediate life support (ILS) among fifth-year dental students. Participants will be assigned to two roles during simulation-based sessions: practitioners, who perform the interventions, and evaluators, who assess peers using structured checklists. The study will compare theoretical knowledge and practical skills before and after the training, and assess the impact of peer evaluation on learning outcomes. A minimum of 84 students will be enrolled to ensure adequate statistical power. The results will inform the optimization of dental education in emergency life support training.

  • Self Evaluation
  • Peer Assessment
  • Instructor Guidance
  • OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination)

Interventions

OTHER

Intermediate Life Support (ILS) Educational Program: Practitioner

Students assigned to the practitioner arm participate in simulation-based practical sessions, taking the active role in managing adult, pediatric, and infant cardiac and respiratory arrest scenarios. They perform all steps of intermediate life support (ILS), including detection of arrest, chest compressions, positive-pressure ventilation with 100% oxygen, calling emergency services (112), and requesting emergency equipment. Practitioner students may act as single or multiple rescuers during simulations, and each student assumes a leadership role at least once.

OTHER

Intermediate Life Support (ILS) Educational Program-Evaluator

Students assigned to the evaluator arm observe practitioner students during simulation-based practical sessions. They use checklists based on current AHA and ERC guidelines to assess the practitioners' performance and provide immediate feedback. Evaluators also complete self-assessment to measure their own perception of knowledge and practical skills.
