Abstract. In the environment of anesthesia, good performance describes the absence of threat for the patient as well as a quick reaction to challenging and possibly life-threatening circumstances. Elsewhere, performance and cognitive function have been linked to indicators of vagally-mediated heart rate variability (HRV). This exploratory study examines the correlation between anesthetists’ HRV and their performance during uneventful induction of general anesthesia and during a simulated critical incident. For this study electrocardiograms (ECG) were obtained from two different groups of anesthetists providing general anesthesia in uneventful real cases in the operation room (OR, n = 38) and during the management of a hypotension scenario in a high-fidelity human patient simulator environment (SIM, n = 23). Frequency, time domain, and nonlinear HRV metrics were calculated from 5-min ECG recordings. To separate high performing (HP) and low performing (LP) individuals, the time needed for induction (in the OR setting) and the length and depth of hypotension (in the SIM setting) were used as performance correlates. The Mann-Whitney- U-test was used to assess differences in HRV within the groups. In both settings (OR and SIM), linear and nonlinear HRV metrics did not differ significantly between the HP and LP group. Also, the anesthetists’ work experience and sex were not related to performance. While providing general anesthesia and during a simulated critical incident, high and low performing individuals do not differ with respect to HRV metrics, sex, and work experience. Further research including the HRV under resting conditions is necessary.
