Improving the quality of training paramedics by means of cadavers - a pilot study.

The study shows that the use of cadavers to teach practical competencies in the field of trauma assessment to medical rescue students can be an effective supplement to simulated learning. Students could feel the difference between the human body and the mannequin. More research is needed to assess whether realistic simulation translates into objective endpoints, such as the effectiveness of diagnosis in the examination of trauma patients. However, it should be remembered that the introduction of this teaching method is expensive and requires adequate base, as well as the compliance with a number of formal requirements.
