ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: The spread of semi-automatic defibrillators (AEDs) with Wi-Fi connectivity represents a significant innovation in the field of public health and emergency medical services, enabling constant monitoring of the devices and more efficient management of their maintenance. The aim of this study is to evaluate how the integration of Wi-Fi connectivity in defibrillators can improve monitoring, management, and timeliness of interventions, while ensuring safety and efficiency compared to traditional devices. In addition to the main objectives, attention was also focused on a secondary objective, namely the evaluation of future training and improvement proposals. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The experimental study was conducted by administering a structured questionnaire to a sample of 75 nurses from the Emergency Department of the “C. & G. Mazzoni” and “Madonna del Soccorso” of the Local Health Authority (AST) of Ascoli Piceno from July 28, 2025, to August 21, 2025. RESULTS: The results show that the sample is mainly composed of female subjects with an average age between twenty-five and thirty years. The majority of participants have more than ten years of work experience and theoretical-practical training. It should also be noted that the majority of subjects have obtained a three-year degree. The analysis highlighted a statistically significant link between the perception of a positive impact of technology on clinical outcomes and the desire to further their skills through additional training. ANALYSIS: Categorical variables were described using absolute frequencies (n) and percentages (%). Pearson's chi-square test was used for the inferential analysis of associations between categorical variables. In cases where variables had only two modes, Yates' continuity correction was applied. The level of statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. All analyses were performed using Microsoft Excel and RStudio (version 4.5.1) software. DISCUSSION: The study highlighted a generally positive perception among nursing staff regarding the implementation of Wi-Fi-connected defibrillators, despite some difficulties related to device management. While considering the limitations related to the sample size, the self-reported nature of the responses, and the cross-sectional design of the study, the results provide useful insights into the perceptions of operators regarding connected defibrillators and guide future research. Therefore, Wi-Fi-connected defibrillators represent a concrete opportunity for innovation in the emergency field and are valuable tools for optimizing interventions, ensuring constant and cross-cutting training and organizational planning across all care settings.

ABSTRACT INTRODUZIONE: La diffusione dei defibrillatori semiautomatici (DAE) con funzionalità di connessione Wi-Fi rappresenta un’innovazione significativa nel campo della salute pubblica e dell’emergenza sanitaria, consentendo un monitoraggio costante dei dispositivi e una gestione più efficiente della loro manutenzione. Il presente studio ha come obiettivo quello di valutare come l’integrazione della connettività Wi-Fi nei defibrillatori possa migliorare la percezione infermieristica nel monitoraggio, nella gestione e nella tempestività degli interventi, garantendo al contempo i principi di sicurezza ed efficienza rispetto ai dispositivi tradizionali. Accanto agli obiettivi principali, si è posta anche l’attenzione su un ulteriore obiettivo secondario, ossia la valutazione di future proposte formative e di miglioramento. MATERIALI E METODI: Lo studio, di natura sperimentale, è stato condotto mediante la somministrazione di un questionario strutturato ad un campione di n. 75 infermieri del Dipartimento di Emergenza dei Presidi Ospedalieri “C. & G. Mazzoni” e “Madonna del Soccorso” dell’Azienda Sanitaria Territoriale (AST) di Ascoli Piceno dal 28/07/2025 al 21/08/2025. RISULTATI: Dai risultati emerge che il campione è composto prevalentemente da soggetti femminili con un’età media compresa tra i venticinque ed i trenta anni. La maggioranza dei partecipanti possiede un’esperienza lavorativa superiore ai dieci anni ed una formazione di tipo teorico-pratica. Si osserva, inoltre, che la prevalenza dei soggetti ha conseguito una laurea triennale. L’analisi ha evidenziato un legame statisticamente significativo tra la percezione di un impatto positivo della tecnologia sugli esiti clinici e il desiderio di approfondire le proprie competenze attraverso una formazione supplementare. ANALISI: Le variabili categoriali sono state descritte mediante frequenze assolute (n) e percentuali (%). Per l’analisi inferenziale delle associazioni tra variabili categoriali è stato utilizzato il test del chi quadrato di Pearson. Nei casi in cui le variabili presentavano solo due modalità, è stata applicata la correzione di continuità di Yates. Il livello di significatività statistica è stato fissato a p < 0.05. Tutte le analisi sono state condotte utilizzando il software Microsoft Excel e RStudio (versione 4.5.1). DISCUSSIONI: Lo studio ha evidenziato una percezione generalmente positiva, da parte del personale infermieristico, nei confronti dell’implementazione dei defibrillatori connessi alla rete Wi-Fi, pur in presenza di alcune difficoltà legate alla gestione del dispositivo. Pur considerando i limiti legati all’ampiezza del campione, alla natura auto-riportata delle risposte e al disegno trasversale dello studio, i risultati forniscono indicazioni utili per comprendere le percezioni degli operatori rispetto ai defibrillatori connessi e per orientare future ricerche. Pertanto, i defibrillatori con Wi-Fi, si configurano come opportunità concreta di innovazione in ambito dell’emergenza e sono strumenti preziosi per ottimizzare gli interventi, garantendo una formazione e pianificazione organizzativa costante e trasversale a tutti i setting assistenziali.
