Introduction:Cerebrocardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPCR) is an important and complex process in treatment of cardio-respiratory arrest. Multiple factors affect the quality and success rate of this process. This study aimed to assess the administration of drugs in CPCR using the existing standards and determine the effect of education in this regard.Material and Methods:The study was conducted as a quasi-experimental research. All the personnel involved in CPCR processes applied in the Emergency Ward of Pimaneah Hospital were recruited as the study samples. With regard to the main goal of this research, the performance of the personnel on 30 CPCR processes was evaluated before the educational program by an observational checklist made by the researcher. Then a workshop was held for all of the personnel. Then their performance on 30 CPCR processes was reevaluated. The results were then compared.Results:Comparison of the data shows that the rate of standard administration of CPCR drugs after the educational program increased, but no significant relationship was found except for the mean use of epinephrine (P= 0.001).Conclusion:The present study indicated that continuous assessment of CPRC processes, educational workshops and provision of appropriate feedback to health workers can increase the rate of standard administration of CPCR drugs.
