PEA: the Ability of Nurses to Recognize It (PEA: ANTRI) (PEARECOG)

March 18, 2025 updated by: Petr Štourač, MD, Brno University Hospital

Pulseless Electrical Activity: the Ability of Nurses to Recognize It

The Ability to recognize cardiac arrest is crucial in emergency situations and all health care professionals should be able to do so. The identification of pulseless electrical activity can be difficult even if the theoretical knowledge of this state is well known. This research will be performed at the Simulation centre of Medical Faculty, Masaryk university and it will be focused on nurses who will come to the simulation course. All the participants will get prelearning theoretical materials that will contain chapter about pulseless electrical activity and its recognition. In the beginning of the course they will be asked to fill up the questionnaire with four different pictures of patient´s monitor in cardiac arrest. It will be evaluated whether the pulseless electrical activity will be recognized.
