Scores given by the experts for the 16 items used to evaluate the recordings. Scores are shown for resuscitations in the first versus second 4.5 months of the debriefing period. Also presented are changes between the two periods in percentages relative to the scores in the first period, and inter-observer scoring consistency expressed as Cronbach's α. (p) refers to p-value from ANOVA
