Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• The primary outcome is to assess CPR competency between ALS providers at the end of the ALS course if they will achieve the standard cutoff values and score.

Study Arms (1)

CPR competency pre and post ALS Course

OTHER

assessment of participants prior to initiation of ALS course

Other: Education (ALS provider course) in Egypt

Interventions

Education (ALS provider course) in Egypt OTHER

Participants complete an ALS course, including theoretical and practical components focused on scenario based simulations for CPR and chest compressions.

CPR competency pre and post ALS Course

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 70 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Providers who will complete an ALS training course (two day-course).

You may not qualify if:

• Providers who will not complete ALS training course, those with physical limitations preventing effective chest compressions. Providers who will take immediate life support course (one day course), candidates attend from other courses to attend missed session and candidates who arrive late and cannot join the pre-course assessment.

Model Details: Pre-course assessment: Baseline measurement of CPR skills for two minutes cycle using a validated simulator by specialized adult feedback manikins e.g. Prestan CPR Feedback Manikins (i.e. built-in indicators for compression rate and depth) Intervention: Participants complete an ALS course, including theoretical and practical components focused on scenario based simulations for CPR and chest compressions. Post-course assessment: Immediate assessment at the end of the second day for CPR competency of 2 minutes cycle using the same simulator and the same parameters assessed pre-course.The scoring method is designed so that each item in the checklist is awarded zero or one point, with zero indicating lack of skill and one is indicating proficiency in the relevant area. Thus, participants' skills levels are determined and categorized.
