Randomized trial evaluates the impact of training types on paramedic performance in simulations, indicating a need for improved practices.

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of technical versus non-technical skills training on paramedic performance in simulated scenarios.
Teams were randomized to receive either technical or non-technical skills training.
Performance was evaluated in a simulation scenario six months after training using time-key-item-product scores and incident management methods.
Debriefing sessions were tailored to the study arms, focusing on their respective skill sets.
No significant differences were found in time-key-item-product scores between the training types.
There was no variation in the use of incident management methods between groups.
Over 50% of teams failed to complete 75% of required procedures, suggesting training improvements are needed.

Eismann et al. (2026) studied this question.
