The study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of the hematopoietic stem cell transplant nursing team about the management of Respiratory Failure , as well as to carry out training for this purpose. This is a field research of descriptive-exploratory, quantitative nature. Data collection was carried out between July and August 2021 and had the participation of 20 employees. Two theoretical evaluations (beginning and end) and an in loco simulation were used. The results show that after being trained nurses in the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation sector, improved their general performance when responding to urgent and emergency questions and in their specific knowledge of the main signs and symptoms of respiratory failure and ventilation interventions. The study contributed to reinforce the need for evidence-based nursing practice and the need for permanent education of the team to improve care practices.
