Cognitive Task Analysis of Escharotomy
Abstract
With the Army’s emerging doctrine of prolonged field care, and with burns being a common injury among soldiers, non-expert providers must be trained to perform escharotomy when indicated. However, the existing physical simulators and training protocols are not sufficient for training non-experts for performing effective escharotomy. Hence, to provide guidance in developing realistic escharotomy simulators and effective training protocols suitable for prolonged field care, a cognitive task analysis (CTA) is needed. This work aims to obtain educative information from expert burn surgeons regarding escharotomy procedures via the CTA.
