Subclaims¶

q2 i? Salivary cortisol rose significantly before and during simulation (p<0.001 at both intervals), but the rise was not scenario dependent (p=0.41). → Apara Teleireoluwa 2024

Evidence¶

Apara Teleireoluwa 2024¶

Apara Teleireoluwa, Hogan Tom, Peterson Jennifer L H. (2024). Death of the paediatric manikin: a scoping review. BMJ Paediatrics Open. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjpo-2024-002941

q2 · i? · review · r2

Objective stress measurement in the Lizotte 2017 parallel-group randomised trial of 42 qualified paediatric doctors: cortisol measured at T0, T1 and T2 around two neonatal resuscitation scenarios. The review reports "this cortisol rise was not scenario dependent (p=0.41)".

"The data show a statistically significant rise in salivary cortisol level between T0 and T1 (p<0.001) and then again between T1 and T2 (p<0.001)—however, this cortisol rise was not scenario dependent (p=0.41)."
