Emergo Train System® : Evaluation of a paediatric trauma victim bank

The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate a new paediatric trauma victim bank for the simulation tool Emergo Train System® (ETS). The area of child trauma care is rather small and there is limited knowledge about potential emergency events. The emergency care for children should not be considering the same as for adults. Relevant personnel should, therefore, be to able train and prepare for potential crisis. Hence, a suitable victim bank within ETS exercises is needed. In order to develop a suitable victim bank, this thesis have tested and evaluated a new paediatric trauma victim bank. The test was conducted through an ETS exercise with a subsequent evaluation questionnaire. With the help of the exercise the paediatric victim bank was evaluated. The result of exercise was compiled through mean and standard deviation of the questions within the questionnaire and potential correlation between the questions. The result showed that the participants thought that knowledge and information they gained during the exercise would help them in further real-life situations and that the victim trauma bank were relevant for training paediatric trauma care personnel. The results also showed further recommendations that could improve the validation process of ETS exercises.
