Randomized trial assesses nontechnical skills training effect on CPR quality in paramedics, indicating improved performance.

The central aim is to explore the relationship between nontechnical skills and the quality of advanced CPR performed by paramedics.
51 paramedics randomly assigned to 17 teams for CPR simulations.
Intervention group received NTS training while control group did not.
Teams participated in two simulated cardiac arrest scenarios to measure performance.
In the intervention group, CPR scores ranged from −3.00 to 13.00; in the control group, from −42.00 to 8.00 (p < 0.05).
A significant correlation was found (p < 0.05) between the improvement in NTS scores and CPR performance.
Higher NTS proficiency was linked to better quality of chest compressions.
