Parada Cardiorrespiratória E Enfermagem: O Conhecimento Acerca Do Suporte Básico De Vida

Abstract

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. DESCRIPTORS: Nursing education; Cardiac arrest; Knowledge; Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation.PARADA CARDIORRESPIRATORIA Y ENFERMERÍA: EL CONOCIMIENTO ACERCA DEL SOPORTE BÁSICO DE VIDA RESUMEN: Estudio descriptivo y transversal cuyo objetivo fue evaluar el conocimiento teórico de los enfermeros de un hospital del interior de Minas Gerais, Brasil, acerca del soporte básico de vida utilizado en el atendimiento a la parada cardiorrespiratoria.

Instructional design in the development of an online course on Basic Life Support

“…Such a search favors learning retention and avoids the deterioration of abilities that tend to decline over time (23) ; thus the performance becomes confident and safe when providing BLS (24)(25) . Among the reports, most students considered themselves as able to perform the BLS procedures in the event of cardiac arrest situation after completing the online course.…”

Knowledge of nursing students about cardiorespiratory arrest

“…Thus, the role of the nurse stands out, as this professional is often responsible for recognizing the CRA and starting the Basic Life Support (BLS) and assisting in the Advanced Life Support (ALS). For this reason, professionals should have knowledge and training in resuscitation, in order to prevent losses in the support provided [4]. It is understood that the skills for such activities must be learned during the training process of future nurses, that is, in institutions of higher education.…”

“…Among the main emergencies that threaten life, CRA is considered the most complex because the chance of survival is directly linked to the care offered, which must be fast, safe and effective [4].…”

Validação de questionário para a avaliação do conhecimento de docentes e discentes de enfermagem sobre o suporte básico de vida

“…1 Historically, the first reports of CRP reversal attempts have appeared, in Hebrew medicine, for more than 5,000 years, but it was not until the 1960s that techniques and maneuvers were developed to promote the recovery of cardiac and respiratory functions, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). 2 Some aspects may hamper patient care in CRP, since the ducts are often performed in places that do not have the necessary infrastructure conditions, jeopardizing the success of CPR and, consequently, the life of the patient. In addition, other factors are added, such as failure to organize care, lack of knowledge and skills of the professionals involved in this care, associated with insufficient human and material resources, providing misunderstandings in the care process to these victims.…”
