Objective The aim is to address the issue of insufficient proficiency in emergency rescue cooperation due to the rapid rotation of doctors, and to design and implement an integrated medical and nursing emergency rescue drill plan, with a focus on enhancing the team's rescue and transfer capabilities for patients with cardiac arrest caused by aspiration. Methods From June 2023 to June 2025, an emergency rescue drill was conducted once a month, involving a total of 27 different simulated scenarios. The core focus was on the rescue and transfer process of cardiac arrest due to aspiration. The participants were doctors from the department and nurses at levels N1-N3. The integrated medical and nursing model was adopted to clarify responsibilities and standardize operations. Each drill lasts for 0.5 to 1 hour. The quality assessment effect is based on the score of team cooperation before and after the drill, the time of first aid operation, and the completion of the transfer process. Results After the drill, the team cooperation score rose from (65.2±8.5) points to (92.3±4.1) points. The time from the discovery of aspiration cardiac arrest to rescue was shortened from (5.8±1.2) min to (2.1±0.5) min. The completion rate of standardized transfer procedures increased from 58.3% to 96.7%. There was a significant difference after the drill compared with before (P<0.05). Conclusion This plan can effectively enhance the emergency response speed and transfer standardization of the medical team, and can be promoted, especially for medical institutions where doctors rotate frequently.
