Popis: Acute bleeding during surgery or after trauma harms patients, and challenges involved physicians. Protocols and cognitive aids can help in such situations. This dual-centre study investigated physicians' opinions regarding two ways to present cognitive aids, graphic 'Haemostasis Traffic Light' and text-based, using the example of a coagulation management algorithm to identify the strengths and limitations of both presentation modalities. Using qualitative research methods, we identified recurring answer patterns and derived major topics and subthemes through inductive coding. Eighty-four physicians participated. We assigned each half randomly to one of the cognitive aids (graphic/text-based) and determined 447 usable statements. We qualitatively deduced the importance of having a cognitive aid for physicians. Furthermore, it is noticeable that the graphic group made more positive comments (154 of 242 (64%) statements), while the text-based participants made more negative annotations (126 of 205 (61%) statements), suggesting a generally stronger approval of this cognitive aid.
