The World Health Organization trauma checklist versus Trauma Team Time-out: A perspective.

Time-out protocols have reportedly improved team dynamics and patients' safety in various clinical settings - particularly in the operating room. In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) introduced a Trauma Care checklist, which outlines steps to follow immediately after the primary and secondary surveys and prior to the team leaving the patient. The WHO Trauma Care checklist's main perceived benefit is the prompting of clinicians to complete trauma admissions as per evidence-based guidelines.
