Barriers to the success of cardiopulmonary resuscitation teams in emergency departments: A perspective from nurses

The results of this study showed that the individual and professional characteristics of cardiopulmonary resuscitation team members are the weak points and the most important barriers to the success of this team in the emergency department. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the barriers to the success of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and increase the survival rate of cardiopulmonary resuscitation by using experienced, skilled, and highly knowledgeable staff. Reducing or eliminating these barriers requires a detailed policy of managers and planners in individual, equipment, and training dimensions.
