Abstract

Accurate and appropriate monitoring of patients in the emergency department is crucial for nurses’ timely detection of a patient’s changing condition so they can receive prompt treatment. This descriptive retrospective study aimed to explore nurses’ monitoring in the peri-cardiopulmonary arrest period and during cardiopulmonary resuscitation at an emergency department. Samples included 92 medical records of resuscitation patients who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation at an emergency department. The research instrument was the Nurses’ Monitoring in the Peri-Cardiopulmonary Arrest Period and During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation at an Emergency Department Data Record Form, which was developed by the researcher based on Pothitakis and others’ framework (Pothitakis et al., 2011) and the literature review. The record form was checked for its content validity by five experts. The inter-rater reliability between the researcher and experts was conducted and yielded a reliability of 1.00.

Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.

 The results of this study revealed that only 17.4% of monitoring in the peri-cardiopulmonary arrest period met the monitoring criteria. None of the samples received monitoring during cardiopulmonary resuscitation which was consistent with the monitoring criteria.

The findings of this study demonstrate the need to improve the monitoring of patients done by nurses in the emergency department. Accurate and appropriate monitoring of patients will allow nurses to deliver quality nursing care.
