From stress to success: using physiological data to predict cardiopulmonary resuscitation simulation performance

This study shows that simulated CPR scenarios trigger psychophysiological stress responses. Increased HRV, HR, and EDA indicate a challenge-type reaction, despite stable subjective ratings across team roles, suggesting a shared load, with TL sympathetic activation as a possible mediator of global team activation. Notably, a nonlinear link between SD1 and performance emerged, indicating autonomic flexibility relevance.
