Trauma resuscitation: can team behaviours in the prearrival period predict resuscitation performance?

Background Optimising team performance is critical in paediatric trauma resuscitation. Previous studies in aviation and surgery link performance to behaviours in the prearrival period. Objective To determine if patterns of human behaviour in the prearrival period of a simulated trauma resuscitation is predictive of resuscitation performance. Design Twelve volunteer trauma teams performed in four simulation scenarios in a paediatric hospital. The...
