Insights

Online learning effectively trained nurses in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients, significantly improving knowledge and satisfaction. This method is valuable for disseminating critical skills in emerging medical situations.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Infectious Disease Management
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients presents unique challenges for healthcare providers (HCPs).
  • Standard resuscitation protocols require adaptation for COVID-19 patients due to the novel virus and transmission risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of online learning in enhancing nurses' knowledge and satisfaction regarding CPR for COVID-19 patients.
  • To assess the suitability of e-learning modules for disseminating critical information on managing cardiopulmonary arrest in the context of a new infectious disease.

Main Methods:

  • A single-arm, pre-experimental study design was employed with 73 nurses participating.
  • Nurses completed a baseline knowledge assessment before undergoing a one-week online e-learning intervention on CPR for COVID-19.
  • Post-intervention knowledge scores and participant satisfaction were evaluated.

Main Results:

  • The online intervention significantly improved nurses' knowledge scores (pre-intervention: 13.65 ± 3.01 vs. post-intervention: 19.92 ± 1.94, p = 0.001).
  • A high level of satisfaction was reported by the majority of nurses regarding the training content and methodology (37.23 ± 4.70).

Conclusions:

  • Well-structured online learning materials are effective for imparting essential knowledge and skills for CPR in COVID-19 patients.
  • E-learning offers a viable solution for rapid dissemination of critical information to healthcare professionals during public health emergencies.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation I: Adult

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is a life-saving emergency procedure performed when a person's heart has stopped beating or they are no longer breathing. The foundation of CPR is Basic Life Support (BLS), which focuses on the early recognition of cardiac arrest, the immediate start of high-quality chest compressions, and the timely use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).Assessing Responsiveness and Checking the Carotid PulseWhen approaching an unresponsive person, first ensure...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation III: AED Use

Introduction to AEDAn Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable medical device that analyzes the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, delivers an electrical shock to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, leading to a loss of blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. In such emergencies, time is of the essence, and using an AED, combined with Cardiopulmonary...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned...

Acute Coronary Syndrome V: Nursing Management

Nursing Assessment:Nursing management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) involves taking the patient's history, focusing on primary complaints such as chest pain, dyspnea, and excessive sweating (diaphoresis), as well as other symptoms like back or jaw pain, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, dizziness, and fatigue. The nurse also reviews the patient's history of cardiac events, risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, family history, and current medications.In the objective assessment,...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation IV: Pharmacological Management

Pharmacologic intervention is crucial in treating cardiac arrest patients during ACLS or Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support. The ACLS algorithms guide the administration of specific drugs based on the patient's cardiac arrest rhythm, which includes pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), asystole, and pulseless electrical activity (PEA).EpinephrineIndication: Epinephrine is the first-line drug for all cardiac arrest rhythms.Mechanism of Action: Epinephrine...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway...
