Abstract

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.

Keywords: assessment of professional practices; external cardiac massage; formation; healthcare practices; hospital; hôpital; massage cardiaque externe; pratique soignante; training; évaluation des pratiques professionnelles.
