Methods

The purpose of this study was to assess knowledge and skill retention of obstetric nurses following an educational simulation experience for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Maternal cardiac arrest is a rare event andoccurs so infrequently that many obstetriccare providers may never encounter theevent in their careers. Challenges exist inthe retention of knowledge and skillsneeded to deliver effective and efficientcardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).Maintaining proficiency in these skills isneeded to ensure maternal and fetalsafety.

Maternal cardiac arrest educational simulations were conducted by Labor & Delivery (LD) nurses in a simulation center. Following the Kirkpatrick levels of learning evaluation model, at three month, six month and twelve month intervals, maternal cardiac arrest in situ simulations were completed in the department of LD to evaluate knowledge and skill retention compared to the baseline simulation.

In an effort to maintain the knowledge and skills gained with this educational intervention, the educational simulation will be repeated annually.

The use of simulation methodology can be an effective solution for maintaining obstetric nurses infrequently used CPR skills.

Findings

Implications

Staff Evaluations

Time to compressions decreased overtime and was lowest at twelve months. Time to defibrillation decreased significantly at three months, however following assessments increased marginally. The average rate and depth of compressions sustained at baseline at six and twelve months.

Data collection points for interventions include time to compressions, time to defibrillation, and rate and depth of compressions measured by simulator software. Results were compared to the American Heart Association CPR guidelines.

Retrospective study for simulation program outcomes.
