High levels of incivility correlate with adverse outcomes for patients, staff, and the organisation. A third RCT demonstrated that even brief low-level incivility could increase the risk of major error during CPR by up to 66%. Exposure to incivility hinders clinical performance in a simulated operative crisis.

If doing what was called "the one-man-band resurrection shuffle" [single person CPR in the back of a moving ambulance], this worked very well, as the bag would stay hanging there on the patient's face. These indices would have reinforced the clinical decision progress and avoided bad outcomes from unsuccessful estimates.
