Dr Viola Mendonca and Dr Emma Smith look at the effectiveness of medical students in recognising cardiac arrest, initiating chest compressions, and delivering defibrillation.
The annual incidence of in-hospital cardiac arrest is 1 to 1.5 per 1,000 hospital admissions, and return of spontaneous circulation is achieved in 53% of those who are treated by a hospital’s resuscitation team.
The hospital resuscitation team must, at a minimum, be able to perform basic airway interventions, including the use of a supraglottic airway in adults, intravenous cannulation, intraosseous access, defibrillation, and drug administration. They also should be able to provide immediate post-resuscitation care. In some hospitals, the cardiac-arrest team may not include an anaesthetist, but advanced airway skills such as tracheal intubation should be accessible when needed.
Our working lives as anaesthetists revolve around effective teamwork, communication, and empathy with the many different professions we interact with. Interprofessional education (IPE) is an increasingly familiar teaching methodology which aims to enhance and improve these collaborative abilities. Considering recent critical reports on the lack of teamwork and interprofessional co-operation within clinical systems, we present a review of IPE and how its increased adoption may help address these failings.
