Mastering treatment of the trauma patient requires intensive training. We can reach these levels of expertise via simulation of the trauma team. Simulations are performed with the entire trauma team physicians, nurses, radiology technicians, blood bank and respiratory specialists. A scenario is planned ahead of its time with the goal of checking the fitness of the trauma team. In the simulation setting the team uncovers mistakes and learns from them without causing harm to the patient. The simulation requires minimal equipment, a mannequin a simple aim or computerized one, a video camera for filming the simulation and debriefing rooms with ability to view the filming. The simulation case is prepared in advance, with options of treatment arms and the results of such. Many research studies of the learning processes in medicine have proved simulation to be the most useful teaching tools.
