Brief Summary

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

Background: Global migration increases the likelihood of language barriers. In medical situations language barriers have a negative effect on quality of treatment and thus endanger patient safety.

In-hospital settings feasibility of video-translation has been demonstrated, yet there is lack of evidence in emergency trauma rooms. There, the physicians have to deal with time-critical decisions. Aims: This feasibility trial aims to investigate technical feasibility, usability as well as the impact on decision-making (e.g. alteration of treatment strategies). Methods: In this study 50 responsive patients with language barriers will be included. The anesthesiologic emergency physician will start video-translation via a tablet. Feasibility, quality of communication, usability as well as changes in diagnosis and treatment will be gathered and analyzed.
