Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the difference of Advanced Airway training model regarding learning effectiveness by using multiple choice tests in pre - and post-training.In this retrospective study, records of pretest and posttests made to students who were trained in Advanced Airway simulation training in Paramedic Department 2, which was trained in Marmara University School of Health in 2016-2017, were examined. The success rates of the pre- and post-training tests are compared, and the success of the simulation method in Advanced Airway training will be investigated. There are 39 paramedic students in the working group. Of these participants, 23 (59%) were female, and 16 (41%) were male. The median (IQR) age was 21.0 (20.0-22.0) years. The median (IQR) values of the pretest and posttest scores were 30.0 (20.0, 40.0) and 80.0 (80.0, 90.0), respectively. As a result, this study shows that simulation training is very successful in airway management training, and simulation training can be an essential part of the learning process.
