Abstract: A qualitative study was conducted to explore emergency room (ER) nurses' experiences of in-hospital resuscitation events and their experiences of clinical event debriefing. Emergency nurses from an urban tertiary hospital located in Western Canada were interviewed on their experiences. Four themes were identified: (1) ER nurses' experiences of resuscitation - 'The adrenaline rush,' (2) ER nurses' experiences post-resuscitation - 'When the adrenaline wears off', (3) ER nurses' perspectives of clinical event debriefing, and (4) ER nurses' recommendations for future practice and resources. Participants described negative psychological consequences resulting from providing resuscitation care, which had profound effects on their personal and professional lives. Participants identified gaps in supportive measures related to providing resuscitation care. Benefits, barriers, facilitators, and recommendations for clinical event debriefing, along with other recommendations for future practice, were identified. Implementing supportive measures for those providing resuscitation care is required for nurse's well-being, and in the best interest of the patients, families, and the healthcare organization.
