ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
This study evaluated the usefulness of a medical transport simulation to increase residents' understanding of medical transport.METHODS:
Twenty-four medical residents participated in an intensive half-day medical transport simulation experience. Two questionnaires were administered, a pre/postsimulation questionnaire containing 11 questions that assessed the impact of the simulation training and a questionnaire that assessed realism of the flight simulator.RESULTS:
There were statistically significant differences between the pre/postsimulation questions assessing perceived level of knowledge, experience, and training of transferring a patient in a helicopter with a mean change of 25 points on a 0 to 100 scale (P ≤ .001) and awareness of obstacles to treating patients during air transport exhibiting a mean change of 28 (P ≤ .001). The mean stress level for all participants increased from 32 (0-100 scale) before the start of the simulation to 47 during the simulation and decreased to 31 after the simulation (F2,46â¯=â¯20.67, P ≤ .001).CONCLUSION:
The findings from this study provide evidence that the air medical simulation experience increases residents' perceived awareness of the context and difficulties of transferring a patient by helicopter and that the experience would influence their medical decision making in their future practice related to patient transfers.
