Video education in open trauma: a program for developing trauma surgical skills.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Trauma surgery is characterized by high-acuity, low-frequency events. While trauma remains a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, surgical residents experience reduced trauma operative volumes during training. This paper highlights an important innovation for improvement of trauma surgery training: use of camera systems to record high fidelity video footage of open trauma cases.

Methods

This paper describes the systematic approach of integrating video camera recording of open trauma surgical cases at the Sotero del Rio Hospital in Santiago, Chile. Recording devices include both hand-held and head-mounted action cameras. We describe surgical team roles and responsibilities as well as workflow for patient consent, maintenance and management of recording
