BMJ open·2025

Effective trauma team communication relies on more than just structured call-outs (CO) and closed-loop communication (CLC). Leadership strategies and physical positioning significantly impact decision-making and efficiency in acute care settings.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Teamwork and Communication
  • Acute Care Medicine

Background:

  • Efficient communication is crucial for effective teamwork in acute care.
  • Structured communication tools like call-outs (CO) and closed-loop communication (CLC) are taught in team training.
  • Understanding real-world communication dynamics in trauma teams is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze communication patterns within interdisciplinary trauma teams during in-situ training.
  • To investigate the impact of leadership communication strategies on team performance.
  • To evaluate the utilization and effectiveness of CO and CLC in trauma care.

Main Methods:

  • Documentation of 18 in-situ trauma team training sessions using surveys, audio, and video.

  • Application of discourse analysis, quantitative content analysis, and quantitative methods.
  • Analysis of communication strategies and physical positioning of team leaders.

    • Main Results:

    • The use of CO and CLC in trauma teams was observed to be low.
    • CLC initiated by the team leader correlated with a quicker decision for surgery.
    • Leader's communication strategies dynamically shifted; physical positioning near the patient was noted.
    • Communication initiated by non-leaders, other than CLC, was linked to delays in definitive care decisions.

    Conclusions:

    • Trauma team communication involves limited structured CO and CLC.
    • Leadership training should emphasize strategic communication and physical positioning.
    • Deliberate practice in communication tools and strategy switching can enhance team function and patient care in time-sensitive situations.
