CPR center held inter-professional ACLS provider training courses for physicians and nurses in order to provide updated practical knowledge and skills in ACLS. We performed pre-test regarding basic principles in CPR prior to conduct simulation training using ACLS Skillmaster Interactive manikin follow by debriefing, feedback and post-test evaluation. We analyzed effectiveness of training in our unit.
We retrospectively reviewed training courses in 2012. We studied pre- and post-test evaluation scores and analyzed course evaluation by trainees. We use Wilcoxon rank sum test, Kruskal-Willis ANOVA , and Wilcoxon matched pair sign rank test to compare score differences between two groups.
There were 656 trainees (627 nurses, 29 physicians). Median score of pre-test of physicians were significantly higher than that of nurses (63% vs. 44%, p = 0.0002). Surprisingly, nurses from general hospitals had higher pre-test median score than those from university hospital (57% vs. 38% p<0.001). All of trainee gained knowledge and experience as they had higher median post-test scores compared to pre-test scores (80% vs. 46%, p <0.001). Approximately 90% appreciated training using high fidelity simulation and 95% satisfied our training program.
Our training courses achieved goals to provide learning experience in ACLS. Using high fidelity simulation improved learning outcome. Institute administrators should consider regular ACLS training in their own personals in order to achieve high-quality patient care.
Inter-professional training and using appropriate methods include high fidelity simulation enhance learning experience in CPR training.
