Table 3 Summary of survey results collected from clinician volunteers who used the Life Support for Trauma and Transport (LSTATâ„¢) in managing critical cardiopulmonary events using a patient simulator

From: Clinical evaluation of the Life Support for Trauma and Transport (LSTATTM) platform

Simulator survey question

Yes

No

Abstained

During the simulations, did the LSTAT allow you to properly manage the patient?

31/31 (100%)

0/31 (0%)

0/31 (0%)

If no other medical equipment was available and you were called upon to resuscitate a patient with the LSTAT in a remote setting, do you feel it would be sufficient?

30/31 (97%)

0/31 (0%)

1/31 (3%)

Do you feel that it is safe to proceed to the clinical phase of this study where patients will be placed on the LSTAT?

31/31 (100%)

0/31 (0%)

0/31 (0%)

During the simulations using the LSTAT were critical changes in vital signs detected in a timely manner?

27/31 (87%)

3/31 (10%)

1/31 (3%)

Were there any limitations in the LSTAT that prevented you from detecting critical changes in vital signs and adequately addressing them?

Did the visual and auditory alarms provide immediate and directed attention to the alarm condition?
