The pit crew card game: a novel gamification exercise to improve EMS performance in critical care scenarios
Based on these results, we conclude that gamification has potential as a preferential and feasible learning method for critical scenario training among prehospital personnel. Participants reported that the Pit Crew Card Game increased their understanding of pit crew concepts, promoted effective communication and teamwork, and was an overall effective teaching tool. We recommend further expansion of gamified teaching strategies to the prehospital education realm and support for future research in this domain.
