What this trial studies
This observational study aims to investigate the impact of stress on the manual ventilation delivered by healthcare professionals using a Self-filling Bag With One-way Valve. Participants will engage in a simulation where they ventilate a high-fidelity mannequin while their performance is recorded under both normal and stressful conditions. Key ventilatory parameters such as pressure, frequency, and volume will be measured to assess how stress alters their ventilation techniques. Additionally, participants' stress levels will be evaluated through self-assessment scales and heart rate monitoring before and during the simulation.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are healthcare professionals who may be required to perform manual ventilation.
Not a fit: Patients who are not healthcare professionals or those who do not engage in manual ventilation will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance training and protocols for healthcare professionals in high-stress situations, potentially improving patient outcomes during emergencies.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific approach of this study may be novel, other studies have explored the effects of stress on healthcare performance, indicating potential relevance.
