Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Ongoing competency validation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills is not a routine practice in nursing school. Basic Life Support training and certification is obtained before or during nursing school with little opportunity for practice. Poor quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills can affect the confidence level of the performer and the patient outcome. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of training nursing faculty on the adoption of cardiopulmonary resuscitation technology into nursing school curriculum to provide improved cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills to nursing students. Using a pretest-posttest, this study followed the Kirkpatrick model of evaluation of continuing education, which …

Endotracheal intubation is an effective and rapid technique used as a standard practice for airway management. Airway injury or complications could be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality for patients. Tracheobronchial obstruction secondary to thrombus formation are life threatening complications of traumatic intubations. We present a case of complicated extubation resulting in cardiac arrest in a patient with an obstructing tracheobronchial thrombus. The patient, an 83-year-old female, with atrial fibrillation presented for neck pain. During CT imaging, she developed ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest. Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was achieved after three cycles of compressions and defibrillation and the …

Background: Code status orders are important features of patient-centered clinical decisions, patient autonomy, and end-of-life care. Despite proper documentation of “do not resuscitate” (DNR) code status, hospitalized patients may be subjected to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) efforts that go against their wishes.
Purpose: The objective of this study was to identify and describe the population of hospitalized patients receiving discordant resuscitation efforts at a Midwest academic medical center utilizing electronic health records (EHR).
Method: The study included EHR records between 01/01/2011 and 01/01/2021 for hospitalized patients 19 years and older who experienced cardiac arrest (ICD-10 I46) and were documented as DNR. …
