Background: In the emergency department, triaging is a very important for mass casualties and should not lead to any errors while doing so. In spite of subjecting interns to triaging theory classes in their final year of MBBS, they are not confident in triaging when need comes. To address this, we designed this study which aims at understanding the efficacy and type of triage based simulation education for medical interns during their 1 year internship programme.
Methods: A cross sectional study with 186 intern students of a Yenepoya Medical College Hospital of Karnataka was selected for the triage simulation. The interns who could attend the entire programme were randomly divided into 2 groups of n=91 each. One group underwent desktop based triage simulation (n1=91) and the other group faced enacted patient based triage simulation training followed by test. Evaluation comprised of tests to 2 groups of interns. The first group were subjected to test following desktop triage simulation and the second group were subjected to test following enacted patient simulation based triaging.
Results: The test result showed that there was significant improvement in the result obtained from the group that underwent high fidelity simulation (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Simulation based training which is closed to reality leads to a significant increase in learning and recalling output compared to the traditional method.
