Pediatric nurses showed inadequate basic life support knowledge and skills. An update improved performance in most nurses, but skill execution order changed over time.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nursing
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Background:

  • Successful resuscitation hinges on factors like cardiac arrest cause, advanced life support, and basic life support (BLS) administration by first responders.
  • Basic life support skills are crucial for initial patient management during emergencies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the knowledge and skills of registered children's nurses in basic infant life support.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a resuscitation update on improving BLS knowledge and skills.

Main Methods:

  • An exploratory study involving six registered children's nurses.
  • Knowledge assessed via questionnaire; skills evaluated using an infant manikin practical test.
  • Resuscitation Council (1997) guidelines were used as the standard.

Main Results:

  • Initial assessment revealed unsatisfactory knowledge and skills in BLS among the nurses.
  • Following a resuscitation update, five of the six participants showed improvement in both knowledge and skills.
  • By the six-week retest, the sequence of performing BLS procedures began to change in the improved participants.

Conclusions:

  • Registered children's nurses demonstrated a need for improved basic infant life support training.
  • Resuscitation updates can effectively enhance BLS knowledge and skills in pediatric nurses.
  • Ongoing assessment is necessary to ensure the correct sequencing of BLS skills over time.
