The assets of ASSET: improving surgical performance confidence through an anatomy and skills review course for surgeons (536.11)
Abstract
Rapid control of major hemorrhage is a primary goal in trauma surgery. However, many surgeons have little practical experience with the required vascular exposures. To address this, the American College of Surgeons developed the Advanced Surgical Skills for Exposure in Trauma (ASSET) course to review anatomy, skills and techniques for major vascular exposures. Since 2008, a broad range of participants have attended, including surgeons of many specialties, deploying military surgeons and surgery residents.
