Retention of cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills in medical students utilizing a high-fidelity patient simulator

چکیده
Introduction: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation has a narrow window of opportunity. It must be started early and followed by defibrillation in a timely manner for maximal benefit. Many studies have demonstrated that health care providers trained in CPR lose their skills quickly. However, little research has been done to evaluate the retention of CPR skills in pre-clinical medical students prior to beginning their clinical training.

BACKGROUND Undergraduate medical students follow a compulsory first aid (FA) and basic life support (BLS) course. Retention of BLS seems poor and only little information is provided on the retention of FA skills. This study aims at evaluating 1- and 2-year retention of FA and BLS training in undergraduate medical students. METHODS One hundred and twenty students were randomly selected from fi...
