The Impact

Purpose: Effective trauma resuscitation requires efficient and coordinated care from a team of providers; however, providers are rarely instructed on how to be effective members of trauma teams. Team-based learning using Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS) has been shown to improve team dynamics among practicing professionals, including physicians and nurses. The impact of TeamSTEPPS on students being trained in trauma management in an undergraduate health professional program is currently unknown. We sought to determine the impact of TeamSTEPPS on team dynamics among undergraduate students being trained in trauma resuscitation. Methods: We enrolled teams of undergraduate health professional students from four programs: nursing, physician assistant, radiologic science, and respiratory care. After completing an online training on trauma resuscitation principles, the participants completed a trauma resuscitation scenario. The participants then received teamwork training using TeamSTEPPS and completed a second trauma resuscitation scenario identical to the first. All resuscitations were recorded and scored offline by two blinded research assistants using both the Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM) and Trauma Team Performance Observation Tool (TPOT) scoring systems. Pre-test and post-test TEAM and TPOT scores were compared. Results: We enrolled a total of 48 students in 12 teams. Team leadership, situational monitoring, and overall communication improved with TeamSTEPPS training (P= 0.04, P=0.02, and P=0.03, respectively), as assessed by the TPOT scoring system. TeamSTEPPS also improved the team’s ability to prioritize tasks and work together to complete tasks in a rapid manner (P<0.01 and P=0.02, respectively) as measured by TEAM. Conclusions: Incorporating TeamSTEPPS into trauma team education leads to improved TEAM and TPOT scores among undergraduate health professionals.

Introduction: Effective team leadership is linked to better patient care during resuscitations. Several studies suggest a relationship between team leader gender and the quality of resuscitation leadership and clinical care. However, these studies have been either (1) retrospective investigations that do not capture clinical care processes or (2) simulation-based research involving novice medical student subjects. The objective of this study is to compare the quality of team leadership and clinical care between male- and female-led trauma resuscitation teams. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that team leader gender is not associated with differences in trauma team leadership and clinical care Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of prospectively acquired data by analyzing video recordings of trauma resuscitations at a Level 1 trauma center. Subjects (n=60) included 2 nd and 3 rd year emergency medicine and surgery residents functioning in the team leader role. Two video recorded observations for each participant (n=120) were coded for team leadership and clinical care by two sets of raters balanced with regard to gender and blinded to study hypothesis. Duplicate coding was performed on 10% of the observations. We analyzed data using random coefficient modeling (RCM), controlling for patient injury severity score and subject postgraduate training year. Results: We found no significant difference between men and women on team leadership behavior (p=.43; Men: M=7.63, SE = 0.54; Women: M = 8.67, SE = 0.74) nor on clinical care (p=.39; Men: M = 62.32, SE = 1.50; Women: M = 64.87, SE = 2.57). Effect sizes were modest in favor of women and nonsignificant for both team leadership behavior ( d = .26) and clinical care ( d =.21). Conclusion: Our prospective evaluation of team leadership quality and clinical care during trauma resuscitations does not support a male performance advantage, contradicting previous simulation-based work. Focusing on effective team leadership behaviors, not inherent traits and leadership styles, will allow resuscitation leaders to optimize their individual and team performance, irrespective of gender. Further work is needed to develop training and cognitive aids capable of supporting team leadership during complex resuscitative care.

The Moment

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious epidemic in the United States. It affects patients of all ages, race, and socioeconomic status (SES). The current care of these patients typically manifests after sequelae have been identified after discharge from the hospital, long after the inciting event. The purpose of this article is to introduce the concept of identification and management of the TBI patient from the moment of injury through long-term care as a multidisciplinary approach. By promoting an awareness of the issues that develop around the acutely injured brain and linking them to long-term outcomes, the trauma team can initiate care early to alter the effect on the patient, family, and community. Hopefully, by describing the care afforded at a trauma center and by a multidisciplinary team, we can bring a better understanding to the armamentarium of methods utilized to treat the difficult population of TBI patients.
