These findings confirm the usefulness of a simulation training program containing the 4 steps of Kolb's cycle for emergency teams.īACKGROUND: The emergence of neuroscience intensive care units (NSICUs) for the past decades has led to growing interest in targeted training for NSICU nurses.


In addition to the satisfaction of the participants, the results showed a positive effect on medical knowledge and team behavior and an improvement in the management of patients suffering cardiac arrest. Both individual and team levels were evaluated: on an individual level, we assessed attitudes toward training and medical knowledge of cardiac arrest management on a team level, we assessed team behavior during simulated cardiac arrest and learning transfer in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of a specific cardiac arrest management simulation training program inspired by the principles of Kolb's learning cycle.Īll the staff in a medical prehospital emergency unit participated in this program. Using simulation to train teams in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest management is recommended to improve team effectiveness.
