Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Objectives
The aims of this research will be achieved by meeting the following objectives:
1. Quantitative evaluation of study participants' resuscitation performance during a simulation scenario before ACLS course, immediately following ACLS course, immediately following VAST course, and at 4 months post training.
2. Qualitative exploration of the barriers and supports identified by course participants to implementing resuscitation in the workplace after resuscitation skills training through focus groups.
New knowledge Lessons learned from this study will help inform the design and the implementation of resuscitation training programs in resource-limited settings. This has potential to improve resuscitation capacity in resource-limited settings leading to higher quality of care for patients.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
ACLS and then VAST teaching intervention
For each hospital, the intervention will be to pair a 2-day technical resuscitation skills training adapted from the ACLS/AHA and a 3-day VAST course for a multidisciplinary team of 20 participants (i.e., nurses, doctors, non-physician anesthesia providers). Participants' resuscitation skills will be tested at 4 time points: immediately before the ACLS course, immediately after the ACLS course, immediately after the VAST Course, and at 4 months post training.
Advanced Cardiac Life Support Training
Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) is a resuscitation course to teach recognition and treatment of cardiopulmonary arrest in patients.
Vital Anesthesia Simulation Training
The Vital Anesthesia Simulation Training (VAST) Course focuses on core clinical practices and non-technical skills needed to respond to the most common urgent and emergent clinical challenges found in hospitals in resource-limited settings like Rwanda.
