Cardiorespiratory Arrest (CRP) is the sudden interruption of heartbeat, breathing and immediate loss of consciousness. To identify the perception of the nursing team regarding the management of cardiorespiratory arrest in neonates in the NICU; To identify the factors in the work environment that interfere with the performance of the nursing team during the arrest and; Discuss the implications of this management for the clinical practice. This is a descriptive, qualitative study carried out in a NICU in Rio de Janeiro. Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire/interview instrument. Twenty-three nursing professionals participated and three categories were constructed: a) Perception of nursing professionals about performance and the management of neonatal CRP; b) Factors in the work environment that facilitate and hinder assistance; and c) Suggestions for improving service. The management of CRP is still a challenge for health professionals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the knowledge of nursing students in situations of cardiorespiratory arrest (CRA), according to the Brazilian literature. For this, an integrative descriptive and exploratory review was carried out at the Virtual Health Library. Articles in Portuguese, available in full, published between 2012 and 2017 were included in the research. In total, ten articles made up the sample. Thus, it was possible to identify nursing students who have heterogeneous levels of knowledge about CRA, since they present important changes in the percentage of correct and incorrect answers in the discussion points of the analyzed articles. In addition, feelings of inability to act appear as an aspect highlighted by some students in these studies. These reports may point to the need for more effective training for these professionals, in view of the importance of nursing performance in the face of patients in CRA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study was developed with the purpose of investigating the difficulties faced by nursing professionals in the mobile pre-hospital care to the cardiorespiratory arrest. It is a narrative review study that was conducted after the publication of publications, restricted to the period from 2008 to 2018. The research was carried out using the platform provided by the Virtual Health Library (VHL) through the main descriptors: nursing, cardiorespiratory arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The participation of nursing professionals in the care of patients with CRA is important because they have a leadership and management role in relation to emergency care, but if the lack of knowledge and inexperience are present, it is problematic to offer a quality care. We emphasize the importance of being prepared to offer adequate care to patients in out-of-hospital settings, through the SAMU, leads to understanding that there is more development of health education, being promoted by nurses in their respective institutions, to reduce this lack of preparation of the team and improve the quality of care.

To evaluate the level of knowledge of the nursing team about the Basic Life Support in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and to identify difficulties faced by the nursing team in the care of patients with CRP. Descriptive type field research with a quantitative-qualitative approach, performed with nurses and nursing technicians of a public hospital in a city near the Federal District. Professionals showed significant deficits in the knowledge to the CRP care, because the percentage of correct answers was always below 50%. The nursing team studied showed deficits in the knowledge about the SBV in cardiorespiratory arrest. The low number of correct answers in the questions shows the need to update these professionals.

Evaluate the level of knowledge of physical education students at a University Center in the Federal District regarding recognition, attitude and practice in the face of cardiorespiratory arrest. This is a descriptive and quantitative research, which was conducted in a University Center of the Federal District, through a questionnaire directed to physical education students who were in accordance with the selection criteria and wished Participate. All academics have demonstrated to have some kind of knowledge about CRP, but do not declare themselves able to perform some kind of intervention. It is possible to note that academics have a relative knowledge about CRP and the first care to be provided to the victim, but still show insecurity for performing CPR maneuvers efficiently, which suggests the application of course extensionists, updating and improving these undergraduates.

Assistance in emergency situations such as cardiorespiratory arrest, led to the appearance of several health services in the care of these victims. Effective care in CPR contributes to survival. About 54 to 74% of the CRP rhythms are ventricular atrial fibrillation, in which the treatment is defibrillation associated with cardiac compressions. The role of the nurse is related to the articulation, integration of the team in an interrelationship in the diverse situations in the RCP. The objective of this research was to identify the importance of the role of nurses in the implementation of adult resuscitation protocol changes. The methodology is based on the temporal analysis of the CPR protocols considering the first guideline. It was possible to affirm that the initial and critical elements of CPR are chest compressions and early defibrillation, in which we signal the importance of the role of the nurse in face of the modifications and implementation of these changes.

Among the various situations that occur in an intensive care unit, no doubt exceeds the priority of service to a cardiac arrest. Organized and planned actions diminish the legacy and influence the outcomes of care. The trainings are also important in early identification of a cardiac arrest. This paper aims to discuss the importance of training in cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the intensive care unit for nursing professionals. The method used for this study was to weave through bibliographic research. The results showed that after a period of training professionals have improved the quality and performance in the care of cardiac arrest. Continuing education should be encouraged and maintained to ensure a consistently good team performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
