“…112 The global dearth of formal trauma education for physicians was documented in 2009, in a survey of 774 final-year medical students in 77 countries; only 55% of the surveyed students reported they were comfortable providing basic trauma care. 120 We recommend that the guidelines be incorporated into the mandatory degree requirements for medical professionals.…”

ObjectiveTo understand the degree to which the trauma care guidelines released by the World Health Organization (WHO) between 2004 and 2009 have been used, and to identify priorities for the future implementation and dissemination of such guidelines.MethodsWe conducted a systematic review, across 19 databases, in which the titles of the three sets of guidelines – Guidelines for essential trauma care, Prehospital trauma care systems and Guidelines for trauma quality improvement programmes – were used as the search terms. Results were validated via citation analysis and expert consultation. Two authors independently reviewed each record of the guidelines’ implementation.FindingsWe identified 578 records that provided evidence of dissemination of WHO trauma care guidelines and 101 information sources that together described 140 implementation events. Implementation evidence could be found for 51 countries – 14 (40%) of the 35 low-income countries, 15 (32%) of the 47 lower-middle income, 15 (28%) of the 53 upper-middle-income and 7 (12%) of the 59 high-income. Of the 140 implementations, 63 (45%) could be categorized as needs assessments, 38 (27%) as endorsements by stakeholders, 20 (14%) as incorporations into policy and 19 (14%) as educational interventions.ConclusionAlthough WHO’s trauma care guidelines have been widely implemented, no evidence was identified of their implementation in 143 countries. More serial needs assessments for the ongoing monitoring of capacity for trauma care in health systems and more incorporation of the guidelines into both the formal education of health-care providers and health policy are needed.

“…Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is mentioned for completeness as a rescue oxygenation therapy for severe ARDS that has found a small niche in the trauma patient population [38]. ECMO will not be discussed in detail as it is the subject of a separate paper in this IATSIC Symposium [39].…”

“…Additionally, when the publications are found, there is a lack of common structure on the training developed. In some faculties, the time devoted to trauma management training is less than 10 h, and in others, more than 2 months [ 22 ]. Moreover, the resources used in teaching trauma management are also diverse, from theoretical lessons and discussion groups to some skill stations [ 9 , 22 , 23 ].…”

Trauma is one of the leading causes of death in the world, being the main cause of death in people under 45 years old. The epidemiology of these deaths shows an important peak during the first hour after a traumatic event. Therefore, learning how to manage traumatic injuries in a prehospital setting is of great importance. Medical students from Universidad Autónoma performed 66 different simulations to stabilize a trauma patient on a prehospital scene by using a web-based trauma simulator. Then, a panel of trauma experts evaluated the simulations performed, observing that, on average, an important number of simulations were scored below 5, being the score values provided from 0, minimum, to 10, maximum. Therefore, the first need detected is the need to further train prehospital trauma management in undergraduate education. Additionally, a deeper analysis of the scores provided by the experts was performed. It showed a great dispersion in the scores provided by the different trauma experts per simulation. Therefore, a second need is identified, the need to develop a system to objectively evaluate trauma management.
