Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

CPR training for nurses with the use of electrical therapy

CPR training for nurses with the use of electrical therapy: Theoretical-Practical Training: the Intervention group will receive a theoretical-practical class using realistic simulation addressing the following topics: electrocardiography; knowledge of cardiorespiratory arrest rhythms: pulseless ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, asystole, pulseless electrical activity; identification of shockable and non-shockable rhythms; use of the defibrillator and its functionalities; and advanced life support with an emphasis on cardiorespiratory arrest management. The activity will last one hour.

Study summary

Introduction: Cardiopulmonary arrest is one of the most prevalent cardiovascular emergencies worldwide, associated with high morbidity and mortality. In Brazil, approximately 14 million people have some form of cardiovascular disease, accounting for around 400,000 deaths per year, which corresponds to 30% of all deaths recorded in the country.

Cardiovascular diseases were responsible for more than 198,000 deaths among Brazilians in 2020 and represent the main underlying causes of cardiac arrest. Therefore, early recognition of cardiac arrest can lead to improved outcomes and better patient prognosis. Given this scenario, the need to train healthcare professionals in the appropriate management of cardiac arrest-as well as to educate the general population-is evident.

In this context, Resolution No. 704/2022 of the Federal Council of Nursing (COFEN) regulates and authorizes nurses to manage cardiac arrest and perform electrical therapy, including defibrillation, in the absence of a physician, provided they are properly trained.

This study proposes a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the impact of training nurses through realistic simulation for the management of cardiac arrest with a shockable rhythm.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of training nurses using realistic simulation to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), with an emphasis on electrical therapy.

Methods: This is a randomized clinical trial.

Expected Results: This study is expected to expand and enhance nurses' knowledge and skills, enabling them to perform defibrillation in cases of cardiac arrest due to shockable rhythms in their work environments, thereby promoting higher quality care and improving patient outcomes.
