Virtual Reality Simulation for Assessment of Hemorrhage Control and SALT Triage Performance A Comparison of Prehospital to In-Hospital Emergency Resp

After a short just-in-time training session on the Sort, Assess, Life-Saving Treatment (SALT) triage algorithm, 282 participants applied their lessons to a high-fidelity virtual reality (VR) simulator. The authors found that while experienced individuals from the paramedic workforce out-performed less experienced medical trainees, the trainees performed acceptably, underscoring the validity of the VR platform for teaching students the complex skills of triage and treatment, including the assessment of rapid hemorrhage control.
