Improving Situational Awareness Before Acute Care (IMPULSE)

October 13, 2020 updated by: University Hospital, Grenoble

Impact of Information Processing Via a Dashboard on the Situational Awareness of the Trauma Team Prior to the Management of a Critical Patient: an Experimental Simulation Study

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.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Briefing supported by the 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.
Other: Trauma dashboard
A large dashboard available to all, providing a framework for synthesizing and displaying relevant information about the arriving critical patient, to be filled in by the trauma leader.
Briefing without the trauma dashboard
The transmission chain will not be supported by any specific tool.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
