To observe how and when surgeons feel stress during surgical operation, we examined the changes in an autonomic nervous activities by analyzing heart rate variability. We measured heart rate variability and blood pressure of surgeons and assistants throughout surgeries. Heart rates of an experienced surgeon began to increase at the start of surgery while those of less experienced surgeon increased well before the start. Balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous activities, LF/HF, which also shows the level of sympathetic nervous activity, was relatively higher in both surgeons and assistants throughout the surgery and temporarily increased during crucial operation. Though the index of parasympathetic nervous activity, HF/TO, was rather low throughout the surgery despite of years of experience, that of an experienced surgeon was higher than the less inexperienced. |
