Abstract
Background: Cardiopulmonary arrest is one of the most important priorities of medical emergencies. The number of successful cases is one of the important indicators of the quality of emergencies, and identifies the barriers to successful of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Therefore, identifying the barriers and causes of failure of CPR team is very important. The aim of this research was to study the barriers to the success of CPR team from the perspective of physicians and nurses in selected hospitals of Isfahan City, Iran, in years 2017 and 2018.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted during the years 2017 and 2018 in Shariati and Gharazi hospitals of Isfahan. The sample size included 126 physicians and nurses. All subjects with complete satisfaction and knowledge were studied based on the criteria for entering the study. Samples were collected using simple random sampling method. The data-gathering tool was a researcher-made questionnaire which validity and reliability were previously reported between 0.87 and 0.90. The data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney and Friedman tests via SPSS software. The significance level was considered at P < 0.050.Findings: In this study, the most prevalent age group was 35-45 years old (76.0%), and 78.4% were men. 68.3% of the personnel surveyed were from the emergency departments of both hospitals. Among the domains considered, the dimension of patient-dependent factors had the highest mean (1.95 ± 1.42), and the dimension of program and educational facilities had the lowest mean (0.68 ± 0.80). Only, there was a significant difference between the physicians’ and the nurses' view in terms of equipment and material (P = 0.002).Conclusion: According to the results, we can conclude that by reviewing the characteristics of patients, as well as supplying educated and enough personnel, proper evaluation, and ready and safe equipment, and providing appropriate feedback to the recovery team, the success rate can be improved.
