Effect of low-dose, high-frequency advanced life support training versus annual full-day training on simulation-based resuscitation performance: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Skill decay in advanced life support (ALS) is well documented, yet optimal training frequency remains unclear. This trial compared low-dose, high-frequency ALS training with annual full-day training regarding simulation-based resuscitation performance after one year. Methods In this randomized, controlled, simulation-based trial, 35 emergency medical services (EMS) professionals were allocated to either low-dose, high-frequency ALS training (intervention group, n = 18) or a s
