“…O atendimento adequado da PCR exige ação rápida e harmoniosa das pessoas envolvidas, a fim de priorizar a necessidade de uma equipe bem treinada, que possa atuar de forma efetiva, uma vez que, evita a desorganização e a ineficiência do atendimento (10) . Os episódios de PCR são, na maioria das vezes, dramáticos e requerem dos profissionais várias habilidades, o que está relacionado às chances de sucesso no atendimento (16) . Assim, é fundamental que os enfermeiros, como líderes e orientadores/educadores da equipe de enfermagem, estejam atualizados em relação às diretrizes internacionais (2) que norteiam o atendimento à PCR.…”

“…Essa atualização possibilita maior segurança, conhecimento e habilidades no atendimento e, consequentemente, qualidade na assistência prestada. Para que essas orientações sejam seguidas, não é preciso adquirir novos equipamentos, mas sim programas de educação eficientes, com base nas reais necessidades dos profissionais envolvidos (13,16) . Estudo de revisão com o objetivo de analisar a produção científica sobre PCR em âmbito intra-hospitalar identificou a necessidade de manter o desenvolvimento de ações voltadas para qualificar a RCP e prevenir a PCR, através de programas de educação, com vistas ao aumento da sobrevivência e da qualidade de vida das pessoas (17) .…”

RESUMO:Estudo descritivo e transversal cujo objetivo foi avaliar o conhecimento teórico dos enfermeiros de um hospital do interior de Minas Gerais-Brasil acerca do suporte básico de vida utilizado no atendimento à parada cardiorrespiratória. A amostra foi constituída por 16 enfermeiros, para a coleta de dados utilizou-se instrumento construído com base nas recomendações da American Heart Association para ressuscitação cardiopulmonar. Os resultados mostraram lacunas no conhecimento acerca dos ritmos identificados na parada cardiorrespiratória, sequência de atendimento, número de ciclos compressão versus ventilação, abertura das vias aéreas, local de colocação das pás do desfibrilador, procedimento a ser realizado imediatamente após o choque, e cargas, em joules, recomendadas para a desfibrilação. Recomenda-se a reavaliação e capacitação contínua dos enfermeiros para adequado desempenho no atendimento em parada cardiorrespiratória, contribuindo para a sobrevida da população. DESCRITORES: Educação em enfermagem; Parada cardíaca; Conhecimento; Ressuscitação cardiopulmonar. The objective of this descriptive and cross-sectional study was to assess the theoretical knowledge of the nurses in a hospital in the state of Minas Gerais regarding the basic life support used in attending cardiorespiratory arrest. The sample was constituted by 16 nurses, and an instrument constructed based on the recommendations of the American Heart Association for cardio-pulmonary resuscitation was used for data collection. The results showed gaps in the knowledge on the rhythms identified in cardio-respiratory arrest, the sequence of steps, number of cycles versus ventilation, opening of the airways, where to place the defibrillator electrode pads, the procedure to be undertaken immediately after the shock, and the loads, in joules, recommended for the defibrillation. The re-assessment and continuous training of the nurses is recommended, for their adequate performance in treating cardiorespiratory arrest, contributing to the population's survival.

“…The successful performance of CPR depends on continuous professional training, by acquiring sufficient knowledge, skills and abilities to initiate CPR maneuvers effectively (9) . These factors, associated with the organized working environment and especially the harmony and synchronism of the whole team, contribute to the excellence of care to patients in in hospital CPA (8) .…”

Objective: To identify, in the perception of nurses, the factors that affect the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in adult inpatient units, and investigate the influence of both work shifts and professional experience length of time in the perception of these factors. Method: A descriptive, exploratory study conducted at a hospital specialized in cardiology and pneumology with the application of a questionnaire to 49 nurses working in inpatient units. Results: The majority of nurses reported that the high number of professionals in the scenario (75.5%), the lack of harmony (77.6%) or stress of any member of staff (67.3%), lack of material and/or equipment failure (57.1%), lack of familiarity with the emergency trolleys (98.0%) and presence of family members at the beginning of the cardiopulmonary arrest assistance (57.1%) are factors that adversely affect the quality of care provided during CPR. Professional experience length of time and the shift of nurses did not influence the perception of these factors. Conclusion: The identification of factors that affect the quality of CPR in the perception of nurses serves as parameter to implement improvements and training of the staff working in inpatient units.

“…Critically ill patients and casualties are referred to tertiary teaching hospitals. The evidence shows that bystander CPR can double or triple survival rates after cardiac arrest (16)(17)(18). However, according to the guidelines, CPR teams in hospitals should be called when necessary.…”

Background:The number of casualties and critically ill patients referred to radiology departments increased during the past decade, which caused the risk of cardiac arrest in radiology departments to increase considerably. Objectives: The current study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of radiology technologists regarding Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Patients and Methods: After approval a cross sectional study was designed. Ninety five radiology technologists (male and female) were selected in four tertiary referral hospitals in Ahvaz, Iran. Accordingly, 87 radiologic technologists of which agreed to participate in the study. The researchers developed a questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of three distinct sections including demographic data, attitude, and technical knowledge questions. Reliability of the technical knowledge questions were evaluated using Cronbach's alpha (76%). Data collection was performed using interview method. Results: Of the total 87 questionnaires, one was incomplete. None of the participants had attended a training program since employment. The average scores of attitude towards CPR and technical knowledge were 80 ± 8.9 and 8.8 ± 2.3, respectively. A correlation was observed between age and work experience (r = 0.866, P ≤ 0.0001), age and technical knowledge (r = 0.380, P ≤ 0.0001), work experience and technical knowledge (r = 0.317, P = 0.003), and attitude and technical knowledge (r = 0.397, P ≤ 0.0001). Also a correlation was observed between work experience and attitude (r = 0.385, P ≤ 0.0001). No significant difference was observed between male and female subjects' technical knowledge (P ≥ 0.05) and attitude (P ≥ 0.05). Conclusions: It can be concluded that, although the attitude of participants towards CPR was positive in general, their technical knowledge was poor. This finding should urge decision-makers to consider delivering in-service training courses to radiology technologists considering the increasing number of casualties and critically ill patients referred to radiology departments.
