A Comparison of Nurses ’ Situation Awareness and Eye-Tracking Data in Precardiac Arrest Simulations

In 2020, the incidence of adult in-hospital cardiac arrest in the United States was 17.16 per 1,000 admissions, and 22.4% of patients survived to discharge (Tsao  et al., 2022). Early recognition of cardiac arrest depends on proper assessment and surveillance of patients, including monitoring for early signs and symptoms of deterioration, such as arrhythmias or abnormal vital signs (Tsao et al., 2022). Nurses are at the forefront of detecting these signs or the cardiac arrest itself, activating the emergency response, and initiating cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR; Team, Bloomer,& Redley, 2023).
