[In situ simulation training of medical-surgical teams in the management of severe trauma patients]

Abstract

In the management of severe trauma, the aim is to assess the patient's clinical stability as quickly as possible, enabling referral to imaging (whole-body CT scan, embolization if necessary) or the operating room, or even the decision to perform in situ surgery (resuscitation thoracotomy). To cope with these critical situations, team training is essential, with the aim of ensuring the reproducibility of the difficulties encountered. High-fidelity in situ simulation is the ideal tool for meeting this training challenge.
