Introduction. Part of the learning process of the simulator courses of basic and advanced life support includes debriefing, which is a time for individual, or team reflection, about what happened during the simulation scenario, and what it meant for each member. Aim. To compare the oral debriefing, with or without video, in achieving competence in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on simulation models. Subjects and methods. Experimental study. A group of 30 students in the fifth year of the School of Medicine of Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán, were selected. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: 15 students who received oral debriefing (OD) and 15 students who received video-assisted debriefing training (VD), each session lasting 20 minutes. Results. Results showed improvement in the following steps: interventions and approach OD 3 (20%) and VD 7 (47%), leadership OD 4 (27%) and VD 14 (93%), initial rhythm handling OD 3 (20%) and VD 12 (80%), advanced CPR quality OD 11 (73%) and VD 13 (87%), post-cardiac arrest care OD 5 (33%) and VD 14 (93%), and achieving competition OD 5 (33%) and VD 13 (87%). Significant differences using Fisher's exact test were found in leadership, initial rhythm handling, post-cardiac arrest care and achieving competition. Conclusions. Students achieve better skills on advanced CPR after simulation model training with video-assisted debriefing.
