Can a simple checklist save lives? study tests new tools for seizure emergencies
NCT ID NCT07603843
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether giving medical interns a checklist (on paper or a digital device) helps them manage a severe seizure emergency in a realistic simulation. About 76 final-year medical students will be split into three groups: one with a paper checklist, one with a digital checklist, and one with no checklist. The goal is to see if checklists improve how quickly and correctly they give life-saving treatments, and whether the format matters.
