Supports flexible ECG training via e-learning or lectures for ED residents; confirms equivalent efficacy of both modalities.
Barthelemy et al. (2015) conducted an RCT in ECG interpretation skills (n=39). e-learning course vs. lecture-based course was evaluated on ECG interpretation accuracy score (p=0.14). An e-learning course did not significantly differ from a lecture-based course in improving ECG interpretation accuracy among Emergency Department residents (P=0.14).
