Candidates demonstrated good recall of the initial Advanced Life Support (ALS) scenario but poor recall of cardiac arrest rhythms. This suggests a low risk of collusion impacting future ALS course assessments.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Background:

  • The Resuscitation Council (UK) Advanced Life Support (ALS) course trains healthcare professionals in managing cardiac arrest.
  • Standardised patient scenarios with common performance criteria were developed to ensure consistent ALS assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess candidate recall of ALS test scenarios immediately after completion.
  • To evaluate the potential for collusion among candidates based on scenario recall.

Main Methods:

  • Eighty-nine candidates were surveyed immediately after their ALS assessment.
  • Recall of the simulated patient's problem, initial rhythm, and subsequent rhythms was recorded.

Main Results:

  • 96% recalled the patient's underlying problem.
  • 47% recalled the initial cardiac arrest rhythm, and 61% recalled the subsequent rhythm.
  • Candidates who passed were more likely to recall rhythms, but overall recall of all scenario elements was only 49%.

Conclusions:

  • Immediate recall of the ALS clinical scenario is good, but recall of specific cardiac arrest rhythms is limited.
  • The findings suggest a low likelihood of collusion significantly impacting subsequent candidates' performance due to limited scenario recall.
