The aim of the study was to enunciate the knowledge of nurses who work in pre-hospital care in the actions taken in the face of CPA. It is a field research with a quantitative approach of exploratory descriptive character. A pre-Hospital Urgency and Emergency company in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro was sought as a setting. Twenty nurses with specific contracts who received periodic training in ACLS and 20 nurses who work in the operation where they do not have training in ACLS were interviewed. Approved by the Research Ethics Committee (CEP) of the Federal Hospital of Bonsucesso (HFB), registered by CAAE 65111817.1.0000.5253 and opinion number 2.009.468. It was observed in this sample that nurses who were trained in ACLS are more prepared in the early identification of a CPA, being able to enable their appropriate measures in advance, bringing great results in terms of early identification of this event, with a more crude view of those who The ACLS course does not have the difficulty in identifying a CPA in the course of it, which can be confused in the initial treatment, causing damage or leading to errors in its execution. In view of the results of this research, the need for a monthly simulation plan is evident, until the new certification of each professional is completed, as it is extremely important that each nurse knows how to act and, consequently, perform better, in addition to contributing to the longer survival.
