Abstract
Purpose
The literature supports interval simulation training as a means of improving nurses’
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills. The aim of this project was to improve
the time-to-task skills in single-rescuer basic life support (BLS) in an outpatient
surgery center through interval simulation training.
Design
Quality Improvement project.
Methods
Twenty-nine nursing staff were included in this pretest/post-test within subjects
interventional design quality improvement project. A 2-minute pretest cardiac arrest
simulation was performed in the outpatient surgery center where time-to-task and quality
of CPR data were collected. The pretest was followed by a lecture and CPR training.
Three months later, the simulation was post-tested in an identical scenario with measures
of time-to-task and quality of CPR.
Findings
The mean times for code bell activation and initiation of CPR decreased significantly
following the interval simulation training (P < .05). A clinically significant decrease was seen in the mean time-to-task placement
of a backboard on code team arrival.
Conclusion
Interval simulation training is an effective means of maintaining CPR skills in the
outpatient surgery center setting.
