Abstract |
BACKGROUND: The American Heart Association (AHA) Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) course is taught worldwide. The ACLS course is designed for consistency, regardless of location; to our knowledge, no previous study has compared the cognitive performance of international ACLS students to those in the United States (US). |
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. |
Abstract |
CONCLUSION: Indian paramedic students demonstrated excellent ACLS cognitive comprehension and performed at a level equivalentto their US counterparts on an AHAACLS written examination. Based on the study results, the AHA ACLS course proved effective in an international setting despite being taught in a non-native language. Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. |

Abstract |
METHODS: First-year paramedic students at the Emergency Management and Research Institute, Hyderabad, India, and a cohort of first-year paramedic students from the United States comprised the study population. All study participants had successfully completed the standard 2-day ACLS course, taught in English. Each student was given a 40-question standardized AHA multiple-choice examination. Examination performance was calculated and compared for statistical significance. |
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. |
Abstract |
RESULTS: There were 117 Indian paramedic students and 43 US paramedic students enrolled in the study. The average score was 86% (+/- 11%) for the Indian students and 87% (+/- 6%) for the US students. The difference between the average examination scores was not statistically significant in an independent means t-test (p=0.508) and a Wilcoxon test (p=0.242). |
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. |
Abstract |
STUDY OBJECTIVES: As international health educational initiatives continue to expand, an assessment of their efficacy is essential. This study assesses the AHA ACLS curriculum in an international setting by comparing performance of a cohort of US and Indian paramedic students. |
