Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A simulation-based randomized controlled trial was designed with the objective to assess the time needed to achieve spinal stabilization using a scoop stretcher compared to a vacuum mattress.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A simulation-based randomized controlled trial was designed with the objective to assess the time needed to achieve spinal stabilization using a scoop stretcher compared to a vacuum mattress. The participants will be recruited among healthcare workers from one Emergency Medical Service. Then, the participants will first act as patient and undergo spinal stabilization from an other team, afterwards they will have to complete a spinal stabilization either using a scoop stretcher or a vacuum mattress, depending on allocation regarding randomization. The sessions will be video recorded to allow subsequent assessment.
