Résumé

Miscommunication during patient handover can be a major cause of preventable medical errors. Emergency traumas are situations where high stress and cognitive load make communication more difficult. Simulation allows for junior learners to practice emergency scenarios in a low-risk setting. This technical report outlines a simulation involving patient handover in emergency trauma scenarios. The intended group of learners are first-year surgery and emergency medicine residents. The scenarios were developed based on the learning objectives of communication, collaboration, and information transfer. Using a high-fidelity simulation mimicking a tertiary care facility, the skills performed in these scenarios can be applied to everyday practice.
