Abstract
Background: Perioperative cardiac arrest is an emergency condition. Nurse anesthetists play important role as a team member during perioperative cardiac arrest management. Objective of this study was to exam the nurse anesthetists’ confidence for cardiac arrest management and associated factors that influence on their confidence.
Methods: This study was a prospective description study in nurse anesthetists who worked at Anesthesiology department, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University, more than 6 months. Our questionnaire recorded their confidence level during cardiac arrest management
and associated factors that influence on their confidence.
Results: The response rate was 72.6 %. Most nurse anesthetists had confidence in basic life support, and advanced cardiac life support. Most of them did not have confidence in using defibrillator. We found the advanced life support training and PCR practice were associated with nurse anesthetist’ s confidence
Conclusion: Most nurse anesthetists had confidence in cardiac arrest management. We found advanced life support training was associated with their confidence.
