Enhancing emergency front‐of‐neck airway training: a mixed methods study on the impact of external noise and startle stressors
Environmental noise and simulated blood splatter increased participant stress. Participants performed emergency front-of-neck access equally well in both sessions, suggesting this technical skill is stored in their stress-resistant long-term memory. These relatively low-cost adaptations could enhance emergency front-of-neck airway tea-trolley training by facilitating stress inoculation training and so better prepare clinicians for real-world emergencies.
