Résumé

The Advanced Trauma Life Support A two-phase study was undertaken with the ACS COT permission. In the first phase, ATLS Phase 1 item analyses showed two items with very low percentages correct, and one of these also showed a low discrimination index. Phase 2 item analyses suggested four items as candidates for review and possible revision. We also found differences by learner background and by instructional site. This study demonstrates computerized delivery of the ATLS post-test is feasible, promotes psychometric analysis, and could improve the quality of the test. Further collaboration between the ACS COT and ACS AEI would be beneficial.
