(2017) aiming at assessing simulation-based medical education for providers for critical situations such as advanced cardiac life support, enhanced performance and patient safety, 65 nursing and 26 medical students participated. However, there was no significant change in self-efficacy, and the progress of the 2 groups regarding the time to initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation was not significantly different between the first and last simulation sessions ( 8). Questionnaires assessed the self-reported changes in self-efficacy, stress, and satisfaction about skills. Each group consisted of one pediatric resident, one emergency medicine resident, and two pediatric nurses they were randomly allocated to the experimental group participating in 5 video-recorded simulation sessions with examination or to the control group which was assessed 2 times with video-recorded simulation sessions without debriefing at a 2-week interval. assessed the effectiveness of a simulation-based teaching to improve life-threatening pediatric cardiac arrhythmias with four teams. Simulations in innovative nursing critical care increase the self-confidence, commitment and active learning and develop a significant increase in knowledge and critical thinking along with improved performance among nurses in critical condition.The use of simulation as a training strategy and complementary to other training methods would lead to active learning ( 6- 9). The simulator-based training has strong educational effects on psychomotor domain and causes immediate feedback and repetitive task training. There are several methods for teaching this topic.The emergence of new methods of knowledge transfer has moved the education towards virtual learning, including the simulators. On the other hand, there is no objective data used to determine an ideal method for its training Even though the interpretation of the ECG is an important skill in the training program,ĭue to its abstract nature, complex mechanism and scattered content, it appears to be one of the hardest parts in teaching. In people with heart disease, 50% of deaths are caused by cardiac arrhythmias. Of normal functioning of the heart muscle at any age. Cardiac dysrhythmia is the disruption in the sequence Its differential diagnosis is complex and difficult, especially by less experienced staff moreover, its prompt and correct diagnosis can save the patients' lives. The proper interpretation of the ECG can prevent unnecessary medical interventions.ĮCG is an important technique for the diagnosis of heart diseases and is the main tool in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction ( 1- 3). Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the recording of electrical activity of the heart and one of the most valuable diagnostic tools.
