Popis: Introduction:Cardiorespiratory arrest (CRP) has high mortality rates in Brazil. Although we do not have an exact measure of this problem, the data considered is around 200 thousand PCR/year in the country, with an even split between extra and in-hospital environments. CRP can be defined as the sudden cessation of heartbeat and respiratory movements. Therefore, it is important that the nurse is able to identify and attend to an episode of CRP by performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with skill and efficiency.Methods: Descriptive and prospective study aiming to present the level of information of nurses working in the ICU on the care of PCR in the hospital environment. Being carried out with 27 nurses from general, coronary, surgical and neurotrauma ICUs of a public hospital of high complexity and reference for these specialties, located in the Federal District. Data were collected between June and August 2016, using a validated questionnaire. The results were described as percentages calculated by the Microsoft Excel®2007 program.Results:The average number of correct answers was 80%. The questions with the maximum score of correct answers were: those related to the most used drugs, their respective routes of administration and the ventilation of the patient without a definitive airway. The question with the lowest success rate was about the conceptual definition of respiratory arrest.Conclusion:Nurses showed good knowledge on the subject, presenting better results with practical approaches and greater difficulty on predominantly theoretical issues.
