Summary of survey results collected from clinician volunteers who used the Life Support for Trauma and Transport (LSTAT™) in managing critical cardiopulmonary events using a patient simulator

Simulator survey question	Yes	No	Abstained
During the simulations, did the LSTAT allow you to properly manage the patient?	31/31 (100%)	0/31 (0%)	0/31 (0%)
If no other medical equipment was available and you were called upon to resuscitate a patient with the LSTAT in a remote setting, do you feel it would be sufficient?	30/31 (97%)	0/31 (0%)	1/31 (3%)
Do you feel that it is safe to proceed to the clinical phase of this study where patients will be placed on the LSTAT?	31/31 (100%)	0/31 (0%)	0/31 (0%)
During the simulations using the LSTAT were critical changes in vital signs detected in a timely manner?	27/31 (87%)	3/31 (10%)	1/31 (3%)
Were there any limitations in the LSTAT that prevented you from detecting critical changes in vital signs and adequately addressing them?	10/31 (33%)	20/31 (67%)	0/31 (0%)
Did the visual and auditory alarms provide immediate and directed attention to the alarm condition?	20/31 (64%)	8/31 (26%)	3/31 (10%)
Would suction be useful during transport?	20/31 (64%)	3/31 (10%)	8/31 (26%)
Would capnography be useful during transport?	26/31 (83%)	2/31 (7%)	3/31 (10%)
Were the LSTAT controls accessible and easy to operate?	27/31 (87%)	3/31 (10%)	1/31 (3%)
During the simulations, did the location of the ventilator connection and physiologic monitor cables allow adequate access to the patient, controls, and displays?	27/31 (87%)	0/31 (0%)	4/31 (13%)
