Journal of Emergency Practice and Trauma 2015; 1(1): 7-11.  \nAbstract  \nObjective: In this trial, we intend to assess the effect of simulation-based education approach on advanced cardiovascular life support skills among medical students.  \nMethods: Through convenient sampling method, 40 interns of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in their emergency medicine rotation (from September to December 2012) participated in this study. Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) workshops with pretest and post-test exams were performed. Workshopsand checklists for pretest and post-test exams were designed according to the latest American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines.  \nResults: The total score of the students increased significantly after workshops (24.6 out of 100 to 78.6 out of 100). This demonstrates 53.9% improvement in the skills after the simulation-based education (P\u003C 0.001) . Also the mean score of each station had a significant improvement (P\u003C 0.001) .  \nConclusion: Pretests showed that interns had poor performance in practical clinical matters while their scientific knowledge, such as ECG interpretation was acceptable. The overall results of the study highlights that Simulation based-education approach is highly effective in Improving ACLS skills among medical students.

These urgent interventions include airway management, respiration support, treatment of Bradyarrhythmia and Tachyarrhythmia (1) . In fact rescuing the patient in complex cardiovascular, respiratory as well as other metabolic, toxicological and other emergencies simply takes a pair of hands and basic skills (2) . Obviously, educational levels of involved personnel in the operation affect the quality and outcome of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (3). Simulation technology is one of the suggested educational methods which can boost the learning process and provide a safe and controlled environment for practice. In this method, learners practice on a human simulator so eliminating any chances of jeopardizing real patients. This method provides more opportunities for  \nobservation and needed corrections, shedding students’fear of operation and building up their self-confidence preparing them for real life situations (4) . In this trial we intend to assess the effect of simulation-based education approach on ACLS skills among medical students.  \nMethods  \nDuring a four-month period, 40 interns of Mashhad Unive","cbCaitCcvWlojIzF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitCcvWlojIzF","pdf",224136,"English","# Abstract\n# Objective\n# Methods\n# Results\n# Conclusion\n# Keywords\n# Introduction\n# Methods","[{\"question\":\"What is the objective of the trial?\",\"answer\":\"To assess the effect of a simulation-based education approach on advanced cardiovascular life support skills among medical students.\"},{\"question\":\"How were participants trained and assessed?\",\"answer\":\"Forty interns attended ACLS workshops with pretest and post-test exams.
