Comparing low and high-tech simulation for blood draw training
This study compares two ways of teaching students how to draw blood from an artery (arterial blood gas sampling). You’ll be assigned to either a low- or high-fidelity simulation training, and your skills will be measured afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a first-year nursing student or a second-year medical student.
- You have attended at least 70% of your classes.
- You can read and speak English.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have never had a class on drawing blood from an artery (ABG sampling), and you have not worked as a healthcare professional (like a lab tech or phlebotomist).
- You have not taken part in interprofessional learning or used a simulation center before.

This trial tests if a virtual simulation game helps nursing students learn how to draw blood from a vein. It may offer a new way to practice this skill before working with real patients.
This trial compares two types of simulation training to see which helps caregivers of elderly people learn how to control severe bleeding. It may help you feel more confident in an emergency.
This study tests a new simulation training for nursing students learning how to give injections and IV medications. It compares learning outcomes for students who use the simulation versus those who don't. If you are a first-time nursing student who has never practiced these skills before, you might be able to join.
This study teaches nursing students how to examine patients' hearts and lungs using practice mannequins and trained actors. The goal is to help students gain confidence and skill in performing these essential physical exams before working with real patients.
