Comparative study of a simulated incident with multiple victims and immersive virtual reality.

Objectives: The main objective of the study is to determine the efficiency in the execution of the START (Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment) triage, comparing Virtual Reality (VR) to Clinical Simulation (CS) in a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI). The secondary objective is to determine the stress produced in the health professionals in the two situations described.

Materials: A comparative study on the efficiency and the stress during triage in a MSI was conducted.

Comparison of the Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment system versus the Prehospital Advanced Triage Model in multiple-casualty events.

Objectives: . The main purpose of this simulation of a multiple-casualty event was to compare the performance of 2 triage methods: the Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment (START) system and the Prehospital Advanced Triage Model (META in its Spanish acronym). The secondary objectives were to analyze times, order of evacuations, and appropriateness of treatments.

Effect of training in advanced trauma life support on the kinematics of the spine: A simulation study.

More than 7.5 million people in the world are affected by spinal cord injury (SCI). In this study, we aimed to analyze the effect of training in advanced trauma life support (ATLS) on the kinematics of the spine when performing different mobilization and immobilization techniques on patients with suspected SCI.

Analysis of performance and stress caused by a simulation of a mass casualty incident.

Objective: To determine the stress that is potentially produced in professional health workers due to a mass casualty incident (MCI) simulated exercise, and its relation to prior academic training and the role played in the simulation.

Methods: Observational study of stress in a MCI. For this work, two MCI drills comprised of 40 victims each were conducted.

Drones at the service for training on mass casualty incident: A simulation study.

Mass casualty incidents (MCI) are characterized by a large number of victims with respect to the resources available. In this study, we aimed to analyze the changes produced in the self-perception of students who were able to visualize aerial views of a simulation of a MCI. A simulation study, mixed method, was performed to compare the results from an ad hoc questionnaire.

[Unmanned aerial vehicles: usefulness for victim searches and triage in disasters].

Objectives: To analyze the influence of drones equipped with thermal cameras for finding victims and aiding triage during disasters.

Material And Methods: We carried out a prospective, cross-sectional analysis and 6 experimental simulations, each with 25 victims to locate and triage. Nurses were randomized to a control group or a drone group.
