High-fidelity medical simulation training improves medical students' knowledge and confidence levels in septic shock resuscitation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Septic shock resuscitation bundles have poor compliance worldwide partly due to a lack of knowledge and clinical skills. High-fidelity simulation-based training is a new teaching technology in our faculty which may improve the performance of medical students in the resuscitation process. However, since the efficacy of this training method in our institute is limited, we organized an extra class for this evaluation.

Purpose

The aim was to evaluate the effect on medical students' knowledge and confidence levels after the high-fidelity medical simulation training in septic shock management.

Methods

A retrospective study was performed in sixth year medical students during an internal medicine rotation between November 2015 and March 2016. The simulation class w
