Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: simulation group
the trainees in the simulation group receive simulation-based training
 Device: High-fidelity high-fidelity mannequin simulator (SimMan, Laerdal, Stavanger, Norway).
Critical care training using high-fidelity simulation. The case scenarios were simulated by a high-fidelity mannequin simulator (SimMan, Laerdal, Stavanger, Norway).

Detailed Description:

High-fidelity simulation has many advantages in medical education. Simulation-based critical care training is especially valuable due to error-prone work settings and the high cost of patient adverse events. This study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of implementing the high-fidelity simulation in critical care training, and the feasibility of high-fidelity simulation as an evaluation tool.
