Refresher training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and recognition of patients with failure in vital functions are often completed on separate occasions. In this study, 63 healthcare professionals participated in a pilot course and self-assessed their abilities before and after the course. Combining training scenarios with different diagnoses of patient cases provided a real-life learning environment. The training strengthened the perceived ability of healthcare professionals to respond to an acute situation of a patient with failure of vital functions.
