Resumen
Methodology: Descriptive, open study with 26 students using RCP high fidelity simulators providing real physiologic responses throw the use of mathematic algorithms generated by computerized programs. Results: Of the 26 students, 0% approved the theoretical test, with an average grade of 77.4 points. In the practical evaluation, none of the couples achieved greater effectiveness than 80% when doing compressions or ventilations. The average of compression depth was 3.38cm, the post-compression release average was 51%; and the total interruption time average was 79 seconds. The statistical analysis showed there wasn’t a relationship between the grades of the theoretical test and the effectiveness of compressions and ventilations in the management of a cardiorespiratory arrest. Conclusions: It is evident that the students don’t have proper competition in the management of the Basic and Advance Life Support. It’s recommended to focus ACLS courses to a more practical approach with physiological simulators and encourage students to take the course at least once a year while in their hospital rotations.
