Introduction: Trauma training is an important part of medical and surgical education.Evaluation of training is an essential part of medical education. A formal valid assessmentmethod for trauma training is not available. The purpose of this study is to establish a formaland scientifically-based Trauma Team Leader Evaluation Tool.Methods and Results: A literature review was conducted on the assessment of traumateam leaders. The available published studies were reviewed and assessed, as well asreferences on the principles and practice of assessment methods used in medical education.Input on points of assessment was obtained from trauma team leaders at the HamiltonGeneral Hospital. An evaluation form was formulated with five domains, each containing fiveitems. Definitions of the domains and items were clarified and attached to the form. The formwas reviewed and revised by trauma team leaders of adult trauma and education leadersin pediatric trauma at Hamilton General Hospital and Health Science Education ProgramMcMaster University and then finalized based on the discussed suggestions.Conclusions: Assessment of trauma team leader performance is an important part oftrauma training and feedback. Developing an assessment tool involves a comprehensiveprocess that needs review, input, and participation from various sources related to trauma.More work to validate the tool will be needed to evaluate its utility.

Head, Neck and Dental Emergencies is a welcome addition to the popular pocket reference Oxford paperback series. The Second Edition is a revised and upgraded version of the original which was published in 2005. As is evident from the title, the genre revolves explicitly around trauma and other critical conditions involving the major organs residing above the collar bone. The book imparts an in-depth view into the medical and dental aspects of emergencies encountered primarily in the Oral and Maxillofacial setting. The editor, Dr. Mike Perry, is a consultant Maxillofacial Surgeon and Trauma team leader at the University Hospital of North Staffordshire, United Kingdom, who, along with a handful of noteworthy contributors, aptly bestow extensive expertise throughout the course of the book.

ABSTRACTObjectivesWhile the use of formal trauma teams is widely promoted, the literature is not clear that this structure provides improved outcomes over emergency physician delivered trauma care. The goal of this investigation was to examine if a trauma team model with a formalized, specialty-based trauma team, with specific activation criteria and staff composition, performs differently than an emergency physician delivered model. Our primary outcome was survival to discharge or 30 days.MethodsAn observational registry-based study using aggregate data from both the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia trauma registries was performed with data from April 1, 2011 to March 31, 2013. Inclusion criteria included patients 16 years-old and older who had an Injury Severity Score greater than 12, who suffered a kinetic injury and arrived with signs of life to a level-1 trauma centre.Results266 patients from the trauma team model and 111 from the emergency physician model were compared. No difference was found in the primary outcome of proportion of survival to discharge or 30 days between the two systems (0.88, n=266 vs. 0.89, n=111; p=0.8608).ConclusionsWe were unable to detect any difference in survival between a trauma team and an emergency physician delivered model.
