Abstract Details

Introducing High-fidelity Acute Neurology Simulation for Medical Students
Neuro Trauma, Critical Care, and Sports Neurology
P14 - Poster Session 14 (8:00 AM-9:00 AM)

To know the response from medical students after experiencing the simulation of neurological emergency cases during their neurology rotation in the clerkship for the first time in our institution.
Simulation using high-fidelity mannequin is a cutting edge technology in medicine, especially in basic or advanced life support training. However, little is known about the applicability of this method in neurological emergency cases.
This is a single-center, cross-sectional study which includes final year medical students who have taken neurology rotation during their clerkship. A self-directed questionnaire consisted of general background data, the profile of cases, and feedback to the simulation was developed to collect feedback from medical students. After completing the simulation, they were asked to fulfill it without any pressure from other people. Statistical analysis was conducted to find the proportion and central tendency values of the variables.
Of 178 students enrolled, 32 students responded (18.0%). The mean GPA was 3.54±0.142. Half of them had previous experience with the simulation. Twenty-two (38.6%) students reported traumatic brain injury (TBI) as their simulation cases, followed by intracerebral hemorrhage (26.3%), subarachnoid hemorrhage (24.6%), and TB meningitis (10.5%). In their real-life situation, TBI also the most encountered case in the emergency room as it was experienced by 29 students (24.2%). Following that, there was ischemic stroke (22.5%), intracerebral hemorrhage (20.8%), intracranial infection (17.5%), and metabolic encephalopathy (8.3%). In terms of suggestion, several things that need to address were to have more frequency and duration of practice sessions (44.7%), increase cases diversity (15.7%), and improvement of protocols and facilities (7.8%). All students (100%) agreed that this simulation activity should be held regularly.
Cases encountered in their real-life were similar to simulation cases. This simulation was responded positively to the students. However, some improvements were required, for example, quality of facilities, case variation, and protocols.
