Doctors play video game to save lives in ER

NCT ID NCT06063434

Summary

This study tested whether a custom-made adventure video game could help emergency room doctors at non-trauma hospitals follow official guidelines for transferring severely injured patients. 800 doctors were asked to either play the game for a few hours over nine months or continue with their usual training. The goal was to see if the game reduced mistakes in deciding which patients needed immediate transfer to a specialized trauma center.
