Trauma Non-Technical Training (TNT-2): The development, piloting and multilevel assessment of a simulation-based, interprofessional curriculum for team-based trauma resuscitation

Abstract

Medical error is common during trauma resuscitations. Most errors are non-technical, stemming from ineffective team leadership, nonstandardized communication among team members, lack of global situational awareness, poor use of resources and inappropriate triage and prioritization. We developed an interprofessional, simulation-based trauma team training curriculum for Canadian surgical trainees. Here we discuss its piloting and evaluation.
