Design and Development of an Objective Evaluation System for a Web-Based Simulator for Trauma Management.

Background: Trauma injuries are one of the main leading causes of death in the world. Training with guidelines and protocols is adequate to provide a fast and efficient treatment to patients that suffer a trauma injury.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate deviations from a set protocol, a new set of metrics has been proposed and tested in a pilot study.

Modified Needleman-Wunsch algorithm for trauma management performance evaluation.

Background: Trauma injuries are one of the leading causes of death in the world, representing approximately 8 % of all deaths. Therefore, trauma management training is of great importance and new training courses have arisen during the last decades. However, actual training courses do not typically analyze compliance with the protocols and guidelines available in the literature.
