An observational study using eye tracking to assess resident and senior anesthetists' situation awareness and visual perception in postpartum hemorrhage high fidelity simulation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality in the world. Human factors and especially situation awareness has primarily responsibility to explain suboptimal cares. Based on eye tracking and behavior analysis in high fidelity simulation of PPH management, the goal of this study is to identify perceptual and cognitive key parameters of the expertise.

Methods

Two groups of fifteen anesthetists (residents and experienced anesthetists) watched the beginning of a severe simulated PPH management. During this first experimental phase, situation awareness was assessed using SAGAT (Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique) questionnaire and visual behavior was analyzed with eye tracking. In the continuity of the video sequence, they ha
