Evaluation of Basic and Advanced Life Support Skills of 6th-Year Medical Students During Emergency Medicine Clerkship
Öz
Aim
It is important to optimize CPR training so that medical students become capable of treating cardiac arrest effectively. CPR training program and to improve the quality of CPR training among 6th-year medical students.
Material and Methods
In this study, the pre-and post-test scores of 6th-year medical students who received CPR training during emergency medicine clerkship between the years 2017 and 2018 were compared prospectively. The students completed the pre-test during the information meeting held on the first day of the clerkship. At the end of the training course, the students took the post-test which was identical to the pre-test. The pre-test and post-test results were compared to evaluate the improvement in the CPR skills of the students and the quality of the CPR training
Results
During the study, 185 participants took the pre-test and 128 participants took the post-test. Fifty-seven participants who failed to attend the course or the post-test were excluded. After the course, the success rates increased significantly in the Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), and arrhythmia management sections and in the overall evaluation. Among these, the most significant increase in success was in the ACLS section and the least significant increase was in the arrhythmia management section.
Conclusion
The BLS-ACLS course we provided to 6th-year medical students, which consisted of 3-hours of didactic training and 1- hour of scenario-based simulation training, was shown to be effective.
