Abstract

We describe the design and development of an Extended Reality Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) simulator that incorporates several ATLS scenarios. ATLS is a training program developed by the American College of Surgeons for teaching medical practitioners a systematic approach to treating trauma patients. The ATLS simulator is based on case-level data, which helps create reusable medical training scenarios. The simulation consists of three components, namely, incident history, initial assessment and resuscitation, and a secondary survey. It provides several scenarios for medical practitioners to perform the tasks from the ATLS checklist and practice diagnosing patients. The simulator can also predict the requirement of an ICU room, ventilator and the length of stay for a given trauma patient based on the type and severity of their injury. With our ATLS simulator we aim to provide medical practitioners a comprehensive training module for practicing emergency trauma response.
