Objective　To provide standardized and normalized first aid simulation training for trainees

and to enhance the level of first aid knowledge and operational capacity. Methods　Based on the first aid training course of American Heart Association

we set up the faculty of first aid simulation training teachers in the hospital. In accordance with the established teaching contents

procedures and forms

the instructor conducted standardized first aid simulation training for residents in the skill center of the hospital by using unified training and video materials. Before and after the training

students' theoretical and operational skills were assessed

and questionnaires were conducted among them after the training. SPSS 19.0 was used for data analysis

and paired data bilateral t test was used for statistical analysis. Results　No matter the theory test or the skill test

the results after the training were obviously better than those before the training

with statistical differences (P < 0.05). The post-training survey showed that 100 percent of the participants believed that professional knowledge has been strengthened and first-aid skills have been improved through the training. Conclusion　Standardized first aid simulation training based on the American Heart Association helps to improve the comprehensive first aid ability of trainees.
