| Abstract This paper presents a study investigating how the presence of respiratory function monitoring (RFM) data impacts clinical decision making during neonatal resuscitation procedures. To date this is an under researched area despite technology advances making this data set accessible for neonatologists and their teams. Simulations of neonatal resusitations were undertaken with eight participants. Each participant took part in each study condition, with and without RFM. Eye tracking data was captured and then participants were involved in Critical Decision Method interviews. The results showed that presence of RFM modified decision making pathways, with clinicians using more stimulus seeking strategies in the procedure as opposed to recognition primed reasoning. An additional change was that the presence of the RFM encouraged an optimisation mindset, with participants seeking to maximise performance rather than relying on satisficing strategies. These findings have important implications for device design, training, and clinical integration. |
