Human Factors and Decision Support in Trauma Resuscitation and ongoing care

Overview

During resuscitation, decisions are made frequently in a stressful and challenging environment. Understanding how human factors affect decision-making will help clinicians make better decisions and perform optimally in trauma management. Research into the contributing human factors of decision-making performance and the tools to reduce human errors are explored.
