Abstract
Background: A concussion, commonly referred to as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), presents substantial obstacles in emergency medicine. However, the current training provided to emergency physicians (EPs) appears to be insufficient. This systematic review assesses existing educational resources and training programs concerning mTBI for EPs, highlighting deficiencies in the literature. Methods: A thorough search was performed in EMBASE, MEDLINE, ERIC, and SCOPUS using targeted keywords associated with mTBI and medical education. Studies were included that evaluated training programs designed to enhance emergency personnel knowledge and practice related to mild traumatic brain injury. Results: The search identified only five pertinent studies, suggesting a severe dearth of research in this field. The studies demonstrated positive outcomes in knowledge acquisition; however, they were hindered by methodological limitations and varied training methods, which precluded any meta-analysis. Emergency physicians with additional training in pediatric emergency medicine exhibited improved compliance with best practices in the management of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Conclusion: The imperative necessity of improving educational resources and standardized curricula to improve mTBI training for emergency physicians is emphasized in this review.
