Use of Human Patient Simulation and Validation of the Team Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique (TSAGAT): A Multidisciplinary Team Assessment Tool in Trauma Education

摘要

OBJECTIVE: Situation awareness (SA) is a vital construct for decision making in intense, dynamic environments such as trauma resuscitation. Human patient simulation (HPS) allows for a safe environment where individuals can develop these skills. Trauma resuscitation is performed by multidisciplinary teams that are traditionally difficult to globally assess. Our objective was to create and validate a novel tool to measure SA in multidisciplinary trauma teams using a HPS-the Team Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique (TSAGAT).
