“…VR in medical education ranges from dedicated simulation programs through to virtual environments in Second Life (Conradi et al, 2009). A comparative study by Cone, Serra, and Kurland (2011) indicated the efficacy of VR as a platform for paramedic student education. The main challenges of VR in medical education are the development costs and user familiarity with the VR-based applications (Conradi et al, 2009;Hsu et al, 2013).…”

This paper proposes a design based research (DBR) framework for designing mobile virtual reality learning environments. The application of the framework is illustrated by two design-based research projects that aim to develop more authentic educational experiences and learner-centred pedagogies in higher education. The projects highlight the first two phases of the DBR framework, involving the exploration of mobile virtual reality (VR) to enhance the learning environment, and the design of prototype solutions for the different contexts. The design of the projects is guided by a set of design principles identified from the literature.

“…The participants’ task was to prioritize the 15 casualties according to the ABCDE algorithm and take into account the postulated circumstances. A colour-coded algorithm, red for priority 1 ( n = 3), yellow for priority 2 ( n = 3), green for priority 3 ( n = 7) and black for dead ( n = 2) was used, in accordance to the ABCDE and SALT triage algorithms [20, 26, 27]. A maximum of 15 points could be obtained, one point per correctly triaged patient.…”

BackgroundThe pre-hospital triage process aims at identifying and prioritizing patients in the need of prompt intervention and/or evacuation. The objective of the present study was to evaluate triage decision skills in a Mass Casualty Incident drill. The study compares two groups of participants in Advanced Trauma Life Support and Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support courses.MethodsA questionnaire was used to deal with three components of triage of victims in a Mass Casualty Incident: decision-making; prioritization of 15 hypothetical casualties involved in a bus crash; and prioritization for evacuation. Swedish Advanced Trauma Life Support and Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support course participants filled in the same triage skills questionnaire just before and after their respective course.ResultsOne hundred fifty-three advanced Trauma Life Support course participants were compared to 175 Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support course participants. The response rates were 90% and 95%, respectively. A significant improvement was found between pre-test and post-test for the Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support group in regards to decision-making. This difference was only noticeable among the participants who had previously participated in Mass Casualty Incident drills or had experience of a real event (pre-test mean ± standard deviation 2.4 ± 0.68, post-test mean ± standard deviation 2.60 ± 0.59, P = 0.04). No improvement was found between pre-test and post-test for either group regarding prioritization of the bus crash casualties or the correct identification of the most injured patients for immediate evacuation.ConclusionsNeither Advanced Trauma Life Support nor Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support participants showed general improvement in their tested triage skills. However, participation in Mass Casualty Incident drills or experience of real events prior to the test performed here, were shown to be advantageous for Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support participants. These courses should be modified in order to assure proper training in triage skills.

“…Quality improvement in this field has consequently been limited to after-event reviews, simulations, mock drills, and the tinkering of experts. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] While such methods of assessing mass casualty triage are doubtless better than nothing, they lack a compelling, large-scale evidence basis. Initial, primary triage of mass casualty incident victims is based on acuity and likelihood of survival.…”

A Better START for Low-acuity Victims: Data-driven Refinement of Mass Casualty Triage

In this research model using trauma registry data, most START under-triage errors occurred in elderly patients. Overall START accuracy was improved by placing elderly but otherwise minimally injured-mass casualty victims into a higher risk triage level. Alternatively, such patients would be candidates for closer monitoring at the scene or expedited transport ahead of other, younger "Minor/Green" victims.
