Abstract:
Heart Rate Variability analysis has been shown in several studies to measure the Autonomic Nervous System tone, which is strongly influenced by pain, stress or anxiety. We have previously described and developed an Analgesia/Nociception Index for pain measurement during surgical procedure. This index based on a heart rate variability analysis can be considered as a vagal tone index and used in several other environments. In this paper, we present an adaptation of our technology for stress / anxiety evaluation in the particular domain of incident management teams training.

Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
