Key Points

  • The study investigates how the size of rescue teams impacts nontechnical skills in canine CPR simulations.
  • Comparison of performance between teams of four and six rescuers
  • Utilization of the Trauma Non-Technical Skills Assessment Tool
  • Focus on assessment and decision-making domains
  • Teams of six outperform teams of four in decision-making skills
  • Need for further research on impacts on technical skills and patient outcomes
  • Potential improvements in nontechnical skills through specific training

Abstract

Teams of six rescuers demonstrated enhanced performance in the assessment and decision-making domain of T-NOTECHS compared with teams of four rescuers. Further study is needed to evaluate whether this difference affects CPR technical skills and patient outcomes, and whether nontechnical team skills could be improved by targeted training.
