Improving Situational Awareness Before Acute Care

• Conditions: Critical Illness; Trauma
• Interventions: Other: Trauma dashboard

• Registration Number: NCT04577196
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Grenoble

Brief 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.

Detailed 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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Briefing supported by the trauma dashboard	Trauma dashboard	During the entire chain of transmission (from the initial phone call to the end of the briefing to the trauma team) the trauma leader will be provided with a trauma dashboard to synthesize and disseminate the available information about the arriving patient.

Primary Outcome Measures
