1. Incomplete Initial Assessment
Error: Failing to follow the systematic ABCDE approach (Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Exposure) meticulously.
Consequence: Missing critical injuries or conditions that could be life-threatening.
Prevention: Always stick to the protocol, ensuring a complete and thorough initial assessment.

2. Mismanagement of Airway
Error: Inadequate evaluation or management of the airway, such as failing to stabilize the cervical spine when needed, or incorrect placement of airway adjuncts.
Consequence: Can lead to airway compromise and worsened patient outcomes.
Prevention: Practice airway management techniques frequently and understand when and how to use different airway tools.

3. Inadequate Shock Recognition and Management
Error: Not recognizing signs of shock early enough or mismanaging fluid resuscitation.
Consequence: Delayed treatment can result in irreversible organ damage or death.
Prevention: Thoroughly understand the types of shock, their signs, and the appropriate management strategies.

4. Failure to Control Hemorrhage
Error: Delay in recognizing or appropriately responding to bleeding.
Consequence: Continued hemorrhage can lead to shock and death.
Prevention: Prioritize bleeding control measures in trauma care, including the use of tourniquets and rapid transport to surgical facilities if necessary.

5. Overlooking Secondary Surveys
Error: Skipping or rushing through the secondary survey after stabilizing the patient.
Consequence: Missing non-life-threatening but significant injuries that may later complicate patient recovery.
Prevention: Systematically perform the secondary survey after the primary survey, regardless of the patient's initial stability.

6. Poor Time Management in Practical Stations
Error: Spending too much time on one aspect of patient care and neglecting others.
Consequence: Incomplete patient management within the allotted time.
Prevention: Practice scenarios under timed conditions to improve efficiency and prioritization.

7. Cognitive Overload and Stress Management
Error: Allowing stress and pressure to impair decision-making during simulations and practical exams.
Consequence: Poor performance despite adequate knowledge and preparation.
Prevention: Engage in stress-reduction techniques and simulate exam conditions during practice to build confidence.

8. Inadequate Documentation
Error: Failing to document actions and assessments during practical stations.
Consequence: Can lead to points being deducted and a lack of clear communication in real-world settings.
Prevention: Practice documenting as part of the scenario training, emphasizing clarity and brevity.
