Brief Summary:
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.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Critical Illness Trauma Other: Trauma dashboard

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.

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.


Outcome Measures
Go to

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Trauma team situational awareness [ Time Frame: immediately after the end of the information transmission ]
    Situational Awareness Global Assessment Technique questionnaire (score from 0 to 15/15, higher scores mean a better situational awareness)
