The effectiveness of rotational simulation training of paramedics in emergency medical care algorithms for emergency delivery in conditions of personnel shortage

Abstract

The shortage of emergency medical doctors dictates the need to expand the competencies of paramedics. The effectiveness of a 4-hour simulation training in emergency obstetrics was evaluated. For the first time, 72 paramedics practiced exercises on simulators. The paired analysis (97.2% coverage thanks to fuzzy matching) showed an increase in correct answers from 48% to 89% (p<0.001). MacRoberts' reception skills improved from 37% to 96%. The high efficiency of the simulation method has been proven to improve the safety of childbirth outside the Ministry of Health.
