Effect of team training on basic life support skills of ward nurses

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of team-based training on basic life support of nurses in ward. Methods Eighty-one nurses who worked in the ward from January to December 2016 were selected as the control group and given traditional training methods. The 90 nurses who worked in the ward from April 2017 to March 2018 were given a team-style training method as the experimental group. The assessment scores of BLS probe and EMSS initiation time, quality of chest compressions, effectiveness of artificial ventilation and use of rescue drugs in the two groups were compared. At the same time, the proportion of cases in which nurses in the ward called life rescue in the due to unexpected cardiac and respiratory arrest of patients and ROSC in the two periods were compared. Results The scores of the nurses in the experimental group were all higher than those in the control group in terms of BLS exploration time, EMSS start time, quality of chest compressions, artificial ventilation and rescue medication (P 0.05). Conclusion The training method not only improves the accuracy and effectiveness of basic life support skills of ward nurses, but also reduces the initiation frequency of hospital 24-hour life rescue team .
