Abstract

High-fidelity patient simulation allows students to apply their theoretical knowledge of pharmacology and physiology to practice. The purpose of this study was to determine if experiential education using high-fidelity simulation improves undergraduate performance scores on simulation-based and written examinations. After receiving research ethics board approval, students completed a consent form and then answered a ten question multiple-choice quiz to identify their knowledge regarding the management of cardiac arrhythmias. Four simulation scenarios were presented and students worked through each scenario as a team. Faculty facilitated the sessions and feedback was given using students' videotaped performances as a template for discussion. Performance evaluation scores using predetermined checklists and global rating scales were completed. Students then reviewed the American Heart Association guidelines for the management of unstable cardiac arrhythmias. The afternoon session involved repetition of the four case scenarios with the same teams involved but different team leaders. Students then repeated the quiz they received in the morning. Descriptive statistics, paired t-test and repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) ...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
