Background:
To assess the clinical impact of a regular, multidisciplinary, video debriefed training intervention for trauma team members on real trauma resuscitations. In addition, attending personnel evaluated the training program via questionnaire.
Methods:
The training intervention is a regular (monthly), video debriefed, team-based trauma simulation. Training takes place in the fully functional resuscitation bay (in-situ) of the Department of Traumatology at the Klinikum Oldenburg (Level 1, primary teaching hospital for the Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg) involving a complete trauma team. Laerdal® Resusci Anne® dummy serves as the patient simulator. A special feature is a structured video debriefing of each participating team to analyse team performance. Data before and after implementation of training was retrospectively analysed.
Results:
We found a significant decrease in the time from arrival of the patient to computer tomography (CT, Spearman rank coefficient r = - 0.236, p = 0.001). Evaluation of the questionnaire by team members described a significant increase in self-confidence (p < 0.05).
Conclusion:
Monthly video assisted team based in situ training with video debriefing significantly reduces resuscitation time in the emergency bay.

Interpretation of Confidence Intervals
Confidence intervals have confidence coefficients that are crucial for their interpretation. The most common confidence coefficients are 0.90, 0.95, and 0.99, which can be written as percentages–90%, 95%, and 99%, respectively.
Suppose a person calculates a confidence interval with a confidence coefficient of 0.95. In that case, they can...
