Evaluation of the Terror and Disaster Surgical Care course.

The TDSC course complements already established courses and provides training in tactical surgical care after hospital admission. The TDSC course integrates and builds on elements of individualised trauma care such as the primary survey and the extended focused assessment with sonography in trauma (eFAST). This underlines again that it complements and does not replace other course formats. We can conclude that the presentations and the tabletop simulation game were well suited to the target group and that the participants were able to increase their knowledge of this complex subject.
