Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to assess the impact on the trauma team's situational awareness of using a dashboard to synthesize and disseminate available information on a critical patient incoming to the trauma center.

Description:

This trial will be carried out at the Grenoble Alpes University Hospital's simulation center. Volunteer professionals will run scenarios simulating the information transmission chain "pre-hospital team - trauma leader - trauma team" just prior to the admission of a critical patient to the trauma center. In each scenario, the trauma leader will be alerted by phone that a patient is being managed by a pre-hospital medical team and is about to be transferred to the trauma center. The trauma leader will have to synthesize and disseminate the available information to the trauma team (composed of a junior physician, a resident and a nurse). Depending on the allocation group, the transmission chain will be supported or not by a specific trauma dashboard. The scenario will be discontinued at the end of this handover and before the patient's arrival.
