	Verbalise	Eye contact with partner	Visual scan of scene
Defibrillation 1
“Stand clear” analysing	K = 0.229 p = 0.247	K = −0.083 p = 0.537	K = 0.0 p = 1.0
“Stand clear” charging	K = −0.212 p = 0.235	K = 0.93 p = 0.477	K = 0.364 p = 0.021
“All clear” shocking	K = 0.467 p = 0.007	K = 0.229 p = 0.085	K = 0.071 p = 0.572
Defibrillation 2
“Stand clear” analysing	K = 0.083 p = 0.653	K = 0.185 p = 0.118	K = 0.0 p = N/A
“Stand clear” charging	K = 0.067 p = 0.772	K = 0.245 p = 0.132	K = 0.289 p = 0.044
“All clear” shocking	K = 0.0 p = 1.0	K = 0.169 p = 0.35	K = 0.077 p = 0.327
Defibrillation 3
“Stand clear” analysing	K = 0.034 p = 0.851	K = −0.124 p = 0.295	K = −0.084 p = 0.455
