A comparison of the time required to reach a diagnosis and proper treatment between the Life Support for Trauma and Transport (LSTAT™) and conventional monitoring equipment

Simulation scenarios		Time to diagnosis (s)	Number of clinicians unable to provide a correct diagnosis	Time to treatment (s)	Number of clinicians unable to provide a correct treatment
Scenario 1
Tension pneumothorax	LSTAT	80 (61–154)	0/12	99 (83–195)	1/12
	CM	60 (50–107)	1/13	85 (61–111)	1/13
	P	0.3645		0.1495
Scenario 2
Adult respiratory distress syndrome	LSTAT	215 (66–300)	4/12	300 (248–300)	6/12
	CM	193 (137–300)	5/13	300 (156–300)	6/13
	P	0.6438		0.4464
Scenario 3
Cardiac tamponade	LSTAT	149 (67–300)	3/13	149 (82–300)	3/13
	CM	117 (100–273)	3/12	152 (122–280)	3/12
	P	0.8848		0.6639
Scenario 4
Pulseless ventricular tachycardia	LSTAT	49 (42–73)	0/13	60 (50–99)	0/13
	CM	41 (38–44)	0/12	44 (41–49)	0/12
	P	0.0317		0.0018
