Sažetak
Background: It is well known from the literature that newly qualified medical doctors have insufficient practical skills needed for the care of acute patients, including basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills. It is however unknown if medical teachers should be internationally recognised CPR instructors or just giving them CPR guidelines is enough to teach CPR skills to medical students. The purpose of the study was to investigate whether the background training of medical teachers in CPR influences medical students’ retention of skills two years after their initial training. Summary of Work: During the academic year 2011/12 a longitudinal course “Fundamentals of clinical skills”, including a session on CPR, has been introduced at the University of Zagreb, School of Medicine. There were 380 1st year medical students. Out of 32 teachers from different clinical background there were 5 ERC (European Resuscitation Council) CPR Instructors and 5 ERC CPR Providers. During the academic year 2013/14 ERC CPR/AED Provider Course was introduced as the part of the “Fundamentals”. At the beginning of each ERC CPR/AED Course students were tested for retention of their CPR skills using standardised ERC CPR Assessment sheet (pre- test). Summary of Results: Data are available for 130 3rd year medical students, according to CPR qualification of their teachers who trained them at their 1st year. There were 35 (26, 9%) students who were trained by 5 ERC Instructors and 32 (24, 6%) students who were trained by 5 ERC providers, total of 67 (51, 5%) students. For comparison, 63 (48, 5%) students were trained by 10 teachers without ERC education.
