“…[18] In the current study, the immediate survival rate was determined to be 37.92% for 654 CB calls. This difference could be attributed to many factors, including the time of CPR, the number of anesthesiologists in the CPR team, the experience of the anesthesiologist, and monitorization conditions etc.…”

BACKGROUND: Code blue (CB) is an emergency call system developed to respond to cardiac and respiratory arrest in hospitals. However, in literature, no scoring system has been reported that can predict mortality in CB procedures. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of estimated APACHE II and PRISM scores in the prediction of mortality in patients assessed using CB to retrospectively analyze CB calls.

“…Estudos demonstraram que o conhecimento e as habilidades de como proceder diante da PCR, pelos profissionais de saúde, são escassos e o treinamento torna-se cada vez mais importante para direcionar as ações durante o atendimento prestado (8)(9) . Assim, investir em treinamento, em especial aos enfermeiros que prestam assistência direta às pessoas em PCR, e a elaboração de protocolos de atendimento, pode proporcionar menor risco, consequentemente, maior segurança à pessoa acometida.…”

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.

Background Participation by a critical care nurse in an unsuccessful resuscitation can create a unique heightened level of psychological stress referred to as postcode stress, activation of coping behaviors, and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Objectives To explore the relationships among postcode stress, coping behaviors, and PTSD symptom severity in critical care nurses after experiencing unsuccessful cardiopulmonary resuscitations and to see whether institutional support attenuates these repeated psychological traumas. Methods A national sample of 490 critical care nurses was recruited from the American Association of CriticalCare Nurses' eNewsline and social media. Participants completed the Post-Code Stress Scale, the Brief COPE (abbreviated), and the Impact of Event Scale-Revised, which were administered through an online survey. Results Postcode stress and PTSD symptom severity were weakly associated (r = 0.20, P = .01). No significant associations between coping behaviors and postcode stress were found. Four coping behaviors (denial, selfdistraction, self-blame, and behavioral disengagement) were significant predictors of PTSD symptom severity. Severity of postcode stress and PTSD symptoms varied with the availability of institutional support. Conclusions Critical care nurses show moderate levels of postcode stress and PTSD symptoms when asked to recall an unsuccessful resuscitation and the coping behaviors used. Identifying the critical care nurses most at risk for PTSD will inform the development of interventional research to promote critical care nurses' psychological well-being and reduce their attrition from the profession. (American Journal of Critical Care. 2017; 26:128-135) [1][2][3][4] It is estimated that between 40% and 84% of all resuscitation attempts within critical care units result in immediate or imminent death of the patient within 24 hours. [1][2][3]5,6 Because critical care nurses have frequent and cumulative exposures to unsuccessful cardiopulmonary resuscitations, psychological trauma often ensues. 7 The literature in this area is nascent. Despite a growing workforce demand for registered nurses in critical care, turnover and vacancy rates are high.7,8 Investigation of the cumulative psychological injuries associated with unsuccessful cardiopulmonary resuscitation is warranted and may offer new insights on strategies to attenuate the psychological morbidity associated with providing life-sustaining care and highlight a need for psychological support processes that may aid in the retention of critical care nurses in the workforce.The influence of postcode stress and coping behaviors on the psychological health of critical care nurses is unclear. However, it is hypothesized that critical care nurses who are exposed to the psychological trauma of cardiopulmonary resuscitation efforts that fail to prolong the patient's life will perceive heightened states of postcode stress, coping behaviors, and lower states of psychological health. Therefore the aims of this art...
