Objective:
To describe using simulation to practice enrolment into a complex clinical trial, before commencement.
Methods:
We embedded the Fibrinogen Early In Severe Trauma studY II into our fortnightly trauma simulations to practice enrolment. A workflow script and flowchart were developed for the research team to alert the Trauma Team Leader of potential patient eligibility. An optimal approach was created to limit the cognitive burden on the Team Leader.
Results:
Our site was the fastest to recruit 25 patients.
Conclusions:
Integrating research practice into resuscitation simulation training improves recruitment into complex clinical trials. Simulation helped refine research enrolment and consent processes.
Trial Registration:
Not applicable to this report, but FEISTY II is registered: CTG2021-04, NCT05449834.
