Physiological team dynamics explored: physiological synchrony in medical simulation training.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

For researchers and medical simulation trainers, measuring team dynamics is vital for providing targeted feedback that can lead to improved patient outcomes. It is also valuable for research, such as investigating which dynamics benefit team performance. Traditional assessment methods, such as questionnaires and observations, are often subjective and static, lacking the ability to capture team dynamics. To address these shortcomings, this study explores the use of physiological synchrony (PS) measured through electrocardiogram (ECG) data to evaluate team dynamics automated and in high-resolution.

Methods

A multicentre observational field study was conducted involving 214 medical first responders during mixed reality (MR) mass casualty training sessions. Particip
