Introduction. One of the basic skills acquired during medical studies is the ability to lead and participate in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Education of sudden states diagnosis and technical activities during resuscitation is based on the Advanced Life Support (ALS) protocol in accordance with the Guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council. The last-year students of medical faculties took part in simulated Medical Emergency Teams (METs) scenario of cardiac arrest. Analysis of audiovisual recordings of activities undertaken during resuscitation was performed to evaluate the practical skills required for resuscitation. Material and methods. The studied group of students took part in a simulated emergency scenario during which there was an irreversible cardiac arrest. The instructor assessed selected parameters of the work of 37 METs. Results. The first element of scenario was to treat bradycardia which occurred at the beginning. 17 METs (less than 49%) took any action to treat it, 12 METs (slightly over 32%) administered atropine. The next step was to diagnoses and treat adequately cardiac arrest. 15 of METs (40.5%) reacted within 10 s, 10 METs (67.5%) in 11–20 s, and 9 METs (13.51%) took any activity during 21–40 s. Among the therapeutic measures required by the ALS protocol, at the moment of cardiac arrest 12 METs — just over 32% checked the presence of the breath, the most METs (100%) gave adrenaline, 29 METs (slightly more than 78%) performed airway, 27 METs (less than 73%) called the resuscitation team. Conclusion. The lack of students‘ skills of the proceedings in accordance with the guidelines of the ALS protocol in terms of treatment of bradycardia and during cardiopulmonary resuscitation suggests to put greater emphasis on teaching both basic and advanced life support activities as general medical skills, gradually throughout the undergraduate training during the whole medical education.
