[Assessment of professional practices in treating cardiac arrest]. / Évaluation des pratiques professionnelles dans la prise en charge de l'arrêt cardiaque.

An assessment of professional practices was carried out in 2013-2014 with the aim of improving the treatment of cardiac arrest in hospitals. Two methods were used: an assessment by questionnaire to evaluate theoretical knowledge and a practical assessment of external cardiac massage. The results highlight the need for greater knowledge. The use of cardiac massage must be included in continuing professional development.
