Purpose:
To determine the impact of structured debriefings (SD) with audio/video review of trauma patients' resuscitation events on trauma team (TT) technical and non-technical skills.
Methods:
Single-center prospective observational cohort study. The study included all emergency department patients aged 18 years or older who received resuscitation from the TT. Virtual meeting was held with the TT using SD to review one trauma patient resuscitation video. Technical skills improvement was based on adherence to the ATLS protocol and non-technical skills based on T-NOTECHS scale.
Results:
There was statistically significant improvement in adherence to the ATLS protocol: 73% [55-82%] vs 91% [82-100%] (p < 0.001); and improvement in T-NOTECHS scale: 12 [10-14] vs 16 [14-19] points (p < 0.001).
Conclusion:
In this study, we found that structured debriefings with review of patients' resuscitation video recordings can have a significant positive impact on trauma team performance in the emergency department in both technical and non-technical skills.
