Anaesthetists are trained from the beginning of their residency to perform high-risk procedures, often in high-stress environments, that can adversely affect both their technical and non-technical performance. Effective stress management is therefore essential, particularly before executing technical procedures. Recently, mental training has been introduced in the education of surgical residents to enhance performance under pressure. This study aimed to assess, using simulation, the impact of mental preparation on stress levels among anaesthesia residents before performing obstetric epidural analgesia.
