Clinical Trial Summary

Training paramedics in new skills via classroom-based teaching has inherent costs and time constraints. The investigators sought to evaluate whether web-based didactics result in similar knowledge improvement and retention of FAST (Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma) compared with the traditional method.


Clinical Trial Description

Paramedics were randomized into a classroom group with traditional lectures and a web group that watched narrated lectures online. All participants completed a pre- and post-test, and a second post-test four weeks later. Both groups underwent hands-on training after the first post-test. A control group completed the two initial tests without didactic intervention. ;
