A review of simulation-enhanced, team-based cardiopulmonary resuscitation training for undergraduate students

Conocimiento actual de la reanimación cardiopulmonar en la población universitaria del centro-occidente de México

“…CPR teaching could be improved with the implementation of high-fidelity medical simulation programs, attached to current guidelines. 33 Compared with other series, our cohort has lower rates of previous CPR training against developed and high-income countries (as Norway, Denmark, USA, Portugal, and Japan) 19,21,28,29,31 but is similar to those found in upper-middle, lower-middle and low-income countries (as China, Turkey, and Malaysia). 17,34 Unfortunately, to this date, Mexico has no programs to implement mandatory CPR training in the scholar curricula; we face several barriers to improve these health policies, especially their economic cost and trainer availability.…”

Comparing Real-Time Feedback Modalities to Support Optimal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for Undergraduate Nursing Students: A Quasi-Experimental Cross-Over Simulation Study

“…As future practitioners, nursing students are in a unique position to improve patient outcomes following cardiac arrest, by acquiring comprehensive and effective CPR skills prior to transitioning into professional practice. Previous studies have however identified poor psychomotor skill efficacy and significant skill decay post-training 31,32 ; a finding reflected in the current study. Despite undertaking nationally recognised BLS accreditation three weeks prior, or experience with CPR in clinical practice, participants were unable to perform effective CPR during standard BLS.…”

Utility of medical simulation in neurovascular critical care education

“…Simulation has shown good results in medical scenarios in which the patient's problem can be solved following protocols previously established in clinical practice guidelines, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, a common practice among health professionals [85]. However, in neurological emergencies, the most important thing is to be able to obtain a diagnosis before implementing previously established protocols.…”
