An adaptive simulation intervention decreases emergency physician physiologic stress while caring for patients during COVID-19: A randomized clinical trial
An adaptive simulation-based educational intervention led to decreased physiologic stress (increased HRV) among emergency physicians who received a simulation education intervention. Reduced physiologic stress generated by adaptive simulation interventions may improve both patient safety and clinician well-being.
