| Abstract: | Abstract Background: A slight is identified about how efficiently information is transmitted from paramedics to the medical team at the emergency department (ED). Information about prehospital events and clinical findings can help ensure expedient and appropriate care. Therefore, our study aimed to assess the effectiveness of data transferred between paramedics and trauma team in trauma unit at Suez Canal university hospital.. Aim: The study aimed to evaluate data transferred between paramedics and trauma team in order to improve the outcomes of polytrauma patients attending to emergency department at Suez Canal University hospital by evaluating the handover process. Methods: A cross sectional observational study was conducted at the emergency department of Suez Canal University hospital. A validated form was completed to evaluate assessing data transfer and data loss between paramedics and trauma team in trauma unit at Suez Canal university hospital. Results: Our study included 125 handovers of paramedics delivering polytrauma patients. It was found that all data items handed over by paramedics were the same as documented by physicians on the trauma notification sheet in regarding patients' demographics, mechanism of injury and pattern of injury. On the other hand, paramedics' handovers had significantly missing data in all items of vital signs, procedures, medication given and related medical history compared to physicians' assessments. Conclusion: Almost all data items handed over by paramedics were deficient compared to physicians' documentation on the trauma notification sheet. Regarding barriers facing paramedics during handover process ,most frequent barriers were lack of standardization ,lack of training and limitation of resources. Key words: handover , ambulance, prehospital |
