The teaching and reinforcing of advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ACPR) is an important part of the role of an intensive care nurse manager. This study highlights the need for a structured training programme, as well as regular updates in ACPR. Current research shows poor retention of CPR skills amongst nursing staff. A small study was undertaken amongst intensive care trained nurses at The Middlesex Hospital intensive care unit (ICU). 18 nurses took part in the study, and were each interviewed with regard to their knowledge of ACPR in December 1990. The period of time since last trained in ACPR ranged from 2 months-4 years. Those who had been recently updated in ACPR (up to 4 months prior to interview) scored higher than those who were updated more than 2 years ago. The results showed that most nurses interviewed were only able to answer correctly half the questions asked. These results indicate that the nurses in the study generally demonstrated a severe lack of knowledge of ACPR. This indicates the need for a structured training package in ACPR, followed by frequent reinforcement of ACPR knowledge and skills for nurses practising in an ICU environment.
高级心肺复苏术（ACPR）的教学与强化是重症监护病房护士长职责的重要组成部分。本研究强调了结构化培训计划以及ACPR定期更新的必要性。当前研究表明，护理人员对心肺复苏技能的掌握情况不佳。在米德尔塞克斯医院重症监护病房（ICU）接受过重症监护培训的护士中开展了一项小型研究。18名护士参与了该研究，并于1990年12月就其对ACPR的了解情况接受了访谈。自上次接受ACPR培训以来的时间跨度为2个月至4年。那些最近接受过ACPR更新培训的（在访谈前4个月内）得分高于那些超过2年前接受更新培训的。结果显示，大多数接受访谈的护士只能正确回答所提问题的一半。这些结果表明，该研究中的护士普遍表现出对ACPR的严重知识欠缺。这表明需要为在ICU环境中工作的护士提供一个结构化的ACPR培训包，随后频繁强化ACPR知识和技能。
