Inter-professional in-situ simulated team and resuscitation training for patient safety: Description and impact of a programmatic approach.

Background: Inter-professional teamwork is key for patient safety and team training is an effective strategy to improve patient outcome. In-situ simulation is a relatively new strategy with emerging efficacy, but best practices for the design, delivery and implementation have yet to be evaluated. Our aim is to describe and evaluate the implementation of an inter-professional in-situ simulated team and resuscitation training in a teaching hospital with a programmatic approach.

Diagnostic performance of S100B protein serum measurement in detecting intracranial injury in children with mild head trauma.

Objective: To assess the accuracy of S100B serum level to detect intracranial injury in children with mild traumatic brain injury.

Methods: A multicenter prospective cohort study was carried out in the paediatric emergency departments of three tertiary hospitals in Switzerland between January 2009 and December 2011. Participants included children aged <16 years with a mild traumatic brain injury (GCS ≥13) for whom a head CT was requested by the attending physician.
