Abstract:

Background: A cardiopulmonary arrest is a critical event whose survival rate is related to the quality of resuscitation maneuvers combined with the use of technology. It is important to understand the perception of fatigue during this procedure, aiming to improve the effectiveness of compressions to increase the chances of survival. Objectives: To apply the Borg rating of perceived exertion scale (Borg scale) to analyze the exertion perceived by nurses during cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers using a feedback device. Methods: Experimental study with a randomized distribution of nurses in a teaching hospital. Perceived exertion during simulated cardiopulmonary resuscitation with/without a feedback device was assessed using the Borg scale. The statistical significance level of 5% was adopted. Results: 69 nurses working in critical and non-critical adult care units were included. Perceived exertion and heart rate were lower in the intervention group (p<0.001), influenced by the feedback device, with no significant difference between critical and non-critical units. Conclusions: The Borg scale proved to be adequate for the proposed objectives. The feedback device contributed to lower exertion and heart rate reduction during resuscitation maneuvers. The low cost and ease of application favor its use during training and real-time resuscitation attempts to assess performance using a feedback device to reduce exertion and perception of fatigue. It allows reflection on the intervening factors and resources that can influence the quality of resuscitation attempts and the chances of survival.

Abstract:

Cardiorespiratory arrest is a critical event whose survival rate is related to the quality of resuscitation manoeuvres, combined with technology. It is important to understand the perception of tiredness during this procedure, aiming at the effectiveness of compressions and increasing the chances of survival.

Goal Apply the Borg Scale to analyze the effort perceived by nurses during cardiopulmonary resuscitation manoeuvres with a feedback device.

Method Experimental study with randomized distribution of nurses in a teaching hospital, simulating cardiac arrest, to assess perceived exertion using the Borg scale during cardiopulmonary resuscitation with/without a feedback device. A statistical significance level of 5% was adopted.

Results Sixty-nine nurses working in critical and non-critical adult care units were included. Perceived exertion and heart rate were lower in the intervention group (p<0.001), influenced by the feedback device, with no significant difference regarding the actuation units.

Conclusion The Borg scale proved to be adequate for the proposed objectives. The feedback device contributed to less effort and reduced heart rate during resuscitation manoeuvres. The low cost and ease of application favour its use in training and real-time consultations to assess performance during resuscitation, using a feedback device to reduce efforts and the perception of tiredness. It also allows reflection on the intervening factors and resources that can influence the quality of care and the chances of survival.
