Résumé
Objective. Effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the outpatient setting saves lives and we, the primary care (CP) health care workers, are involved as first care agents. Our objective in this study has been to evaluate the updated level of knowledge in CPR of the PC health care professionals of the Valladolid este area. Method. A multiple choice 18-question questionnaire was administered to a total of 314 health care workers (physicians and nurses) working in PC, only one of the answers being correct, on all the actions to perform in the presence of cardiorespiratory arrest (CPR). Results. Only 44.3 % of the 314 participants of the questionnaires analyzed surpassed more than 50% of the answers correctly. Of the percentage of “not surpassed,” the work status was stable in 80.5 % and 76.9 % were older than 55 years of age. A total of 55.57 % of the professionals studied had not received training in the last year. Those who had received training in CPR in the last six months obtained a higher number of correct answers, 49.6 % versus 41.3 % of correct answers versus those who had not received training. Conclusion. Education in CPR for all those working in PC is essential. Periodically increasing the knowledge of the physicians and nurses would achieve greater efficacy in the approach to a PCR.
