Improving Comfort Level of PACU Nurses During Intubation and Code Blue Emergencies

The PACU is a diversified group of nurses with a wide range of experiences. These experiences range from 43% nurses with less than 5 years nursing experience to 26% nurses having greater than 21 years of experience. After having an emergent intubation and a code blue, the staff verbalized various comfort levels in assisting the Anesthesiologist in these situations. ACLS is currently done via computer program and does not lend to hands on practice other than the CPR portion.
