title: [The direct cost of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation training program in a university hospital].
abstract: This study was aimed at mapping the process of shared training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation for technicians and assistant nurses of the Intensive Care and Semi-Intensive Care units at the University of São Paulo's Hospital Universitário (HU-USP), and at checking the direct costs of the main activities in the process. This is an exploratory research, a retrospective, documental survey, using the case study model. The results showed that the total direct cost of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation training program was 9,081.44 reals. The direct cost with personnel represented 96.74%, and with material 3.26%. In the training planning sub-process, most of the direct cost was represented by the instructor-assisting nurse, with 5,451.60 reals (62.04%). The direct costs related to the material that was used were also higher in the training program sub-process, 188.80 reals (63.73%). The total cost per trainee was 206.40 reals.
