Medic Surgical Technical Assistance Tool (mSTAT) Development and Testing

Abstract

We propose to evaluate the efficacy of a video-based step-by-step approach (medic Surgical Technical Assistance Tool, mSTAT) to enable medics to perform more advanced surgical interventions. We have previously shown that this approach significantly improves the performance of selected vascular and fasciotomy procedures by trained surgeons.Aim 1: To test if medics using a similar tool, redesigned to target individuals whose surgical procedural skill level is that of the combat medic, will allow for effective advanced vascular and fasciotomy procedures.Aim 2: To analyze medic cognition and reasoning as they undertake each of the procedures in comparison to available surgeon data to inform development of effective training/forward knowledge interventions.
