    AbstractExcellent resuscitation requires technical skills and knowledge, but also the right mindset. Expert practitioners must master their internal affective state, and create the environment that leads to optimal team performance. Leaders in resuscitation should use structured approaches to prepare for resuscitation, and psychological skills to enhance their performance including mental rehearsal, positive self-talk, explicit communication strategies, and situational awareness skills. Postevent recovery is equally important. Providers should have explicit plans for recovery after traumatic cases, including developing resilience and self-compassion. Experts in resuscitation can improve their performance (and that of their team) by consciously incorporating psychological skills into their armamentarium.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
