Atendimento à parada cardiorrespiratória: experiência de estágio supervisionado em medicina

Abstract

Objective: to describe the experience of caring for cardiac arrest (CPA) during a supervised internship in medicine. Method: experience report, in descriptive format, of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) actions in patients who suffered cardiac arrest in the red trauma area of the General Hospital of the State of Alagoas from 2020 to 2021. Result: activities were developed in the sector of urgency and emergency care of the General Hospital of the State of Alagoas (HGE-AL), where the inmates are responsible, among other activities, for performing general intensive care, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation. During the practices, it was evident that the non-formation of a pre-established and trained team, as recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA)1, leads to slower care. Conclusion: CPA is a serious event that can lead to death, for this reason, CPR maneuvers should be performed as soon as possible in order to ensure the reestablishment of cardiorespiratory function. In order to do this, an organization protocol for the inmates to work in the CPA care team in the urgency and emergency service of the HGE-AL was elaborated.
