Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
