Cardiac arrest can occur anywhere in the hospital area, whether it is in the emergency room, patients who are already in care, outpatients, the patient's family, visitors, or the community of the hospital at work. The literature of the review aims to determine the role of emergency nurses in the administration of pulmonary heart resuscitation in cardiac arrest patients. Literature review through several stages, namely making questions, identification, eligibility, selection of article inclusion, and screening. The Selection Process is listed in the framework of the review literature and obtained the results of article 8 articles. The data showed similar results related to the role of nurses in assisting cardiac arrest patients in hospitals. The results of the article in the review focused on the role of nurses in providing life support to patients with cardiac arrest, almost from all articles reviewed discussing the knowledge, experience, and skills of nurses in providing CPR. The role of nurses in the emergency room in providing life support to cardiac arrest patients is to improve the knowledge, experience, and skills in performing CPR. One way to improve the knowledge, experience, and skills of nurses in providing CPR to cardiac arrest patients is to participate in various training such as Basic Trauma Cardiac Life Support (BTCLS) or Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ATCLS).

Resuscitation on the playing field is at least as important as screening in the prevention of death. Even if a screening strategy is largely effective, individuals will suffer sudden cardiac arrests. Timely recognition of a cardiac arrest with rapid implementation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and deployment and use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) will save lives. Basic life support, including CPR and AED use, should be a requirement for all those involved in sports, including athletes. An emergency action plan is important in order to render advanced cardiac life support and arrange for transport to medical centres.

Introduction The concept of the chain of survival is widely accepted. The four links viz. early access, early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), early defibrillation and early Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) are related to survival after pre-hospital cardiac arrest. Owing to the dismal survival-to-discharge figures locally, we conducted this study to identify any weaknesses in the chain, looking in particular at bystander CPR rates and times to Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS) and ACLS. Methods and materials A retrospective cohort study was conducted in the Emergency Department of an urban tertiary 1500-bed hospital. Over a 12-month period, all cases of non-trauma out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were evaluated. Results A total of 142 cases of non-trauma out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were identified; the majority being Chinese (103/142, 72.5%) and male (71.8%) with a mean age of 64.3±7.8 years (range 23–89 yrs). Most patients (111/142, 78.2%) did not receive any form of life support until arrival of the ambulance crew. Mean time from collapse to arrival of the ambulance crew and initiation of BCLS and defibrillation was 9.2±3.5 minutes. Mean time from collapse to arrival in the Emergency Department (and thus ACLS) was 16.8±7.1 minutes. Three patients (2.11%) survived to discharge. Conclusion There is a need to (i) facilitate layperson training in bystander CPR, and (ii) enhance paramedic training to include ACLS, in order to improve the current dismal survival outcomes from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Singapore.
