Full textAbstract:
Objectives. Prediction models for the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in patients with cardiac arrest play an important role in helping physicians evaluate the survival probability and providing medical decision-making reference. Although relevant models have been developed, their methodological rigor and model applicability are still unclear. Therefore, this study aims to summarize the evidence for ROSC prediction models and provide a reference for the development, validation, and application of ROSC prediction models. Methods. PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Elsevier, Web of Science, SpringerLink, Ovid, CNKI, Wanfang, and SinoMed were systematically searched for studies on ROSC prediction models. The search time limit was from the establishment of the database to August 30, 2022. Two reviewers independently screened the literature and extracted the data. The PROBAST was used to evaluate the quality of the included literature. Results. A total of 8 relevant prediction models were included, and 6 models reported the AUC of 0.662–0.830 in the modeling population, which showed good overall applicability but high risk of bias. The main reasons were improper handling of missing values and variable screening, lack of external validation of the model, and insufficient information of overfitting. Age, gender, etiology, initial heart rhythm, EMS arrival time/BLS intervention time, location, bystander CPR, witnessed during sudden arrest, and ACLS duration/compression duration were the most commonly included predictors. Obvious chest injury, body temperature below 33°C, and possible etiologies were predictive factors for ROSC failure in patients with TOHCA. Age, gender, initial heart rhythm, reason for the hospital visit, length of hospital stay, and the location of occurrence in hospital were the predictors of ROSC in IHCA patients. Conclusion. The performance of current ROSC prediction models varies greatly and has a high risk of bias, which should be selected with caution. Future studies can further optimize and externally validate the existing models.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acquisition and retention of knowledge and skills of basic (BLS) and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) for nurse anesthetists at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital. METHODS The one-group pretest-posttest design study was used. BLS and ACLS training comprised a brief BLS and ACLS review and practice. Knowledge was assessed by multiple-choice questions. The BLS skills were assessed by observing CPR performance on a Resusci- Anne-skill meter manikin and ACLS skills were evaluated using ACLS scenarios. The knowledge and skills were assessed before and after the training weekly for four weeks, and then at three months after the training ended. RESULTS A total of 38 nurse anesthetists participated in the study. There were significant increases in BLS and ACLS knowledge and skills after the training. However, there was short retention of BLS and ACLS knowledge and skills at three months after the training. Foreign body airway obstruction and assessing unresponsiveness were the two most common of BLS skills degradation. While the primary and secondary assessment, assessing ACLS algorithms, electrocardiogram recognition and electrical therapy were the common skills performance of ACLS skills degradation. CONCLUSIONS After the BLS and ACLS training, the knowledge and skills were significantly improved but there was short retention of knowledge and skills at three months after the training. Regular refreshment of CPR education is recommended to enhance the retention of knowledge and practice of nurse anesthetists KEYWORDS knowledge and skills retention, nurse anesthetists, acquisition, basic life support, advanced cardiac life support

(1) Objective: This study evaluates the effects of simulation education at our institute on cardiac arrest resuscitation regarding knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) over a five-year period (2016–2020). (2) Subjects: Staff responded to the annual survey questionnaires followed by monthly training in Basic Life Support/Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (BLS/ACLS) and Immediate Cardiac Life Support (ICLS) of the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine (JAAM) in 2016, 2017, and 2018. Additionally, in-house training was implemented in 2019 without post-assessment followed by training suspension in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The last delivery of the survey questionnaires was in late 2020 for KAP retention measurement. (3) Measurements and Results: The self-efficacy level of BLS/ACLS/ICLS KAP of the survey respondents was analyzed using a five-point Likert scale. The mean self-efficacy level of BLS/ACLS/ICLS KAP increased over time, and that of the trained people was three-fold that of the untrained people. Trainees that had no cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) experience gained the BLS/ACLS/ICLS key-point self-efficacy level, which we call the “Grip 14” in this study, as high as their untrained counterparts who had three-time CPR experience. Training suspension lessened the BLS/ACLS/ICLS KAP in both groups. (4) Conclusions: Continuous training enhances not only the BLS/ACLS/ICLS KAP of trainees but also of their untrained colleagues. The training likely had the same efficacy as the CPR experience.

BACKGROUND The knowledge and skills in Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is an essential part in the medical education. Resuscitation skills have undergone series of evolution into current protocol which involves Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). We wanted to assess the awareness of Basic Life Support among medical students, nursing students and house surgeons in a Government Medical College in Kerala. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted by assessing responses to 24 selected basic questions regarding BLS and ACLS among the students. After excluding the incomplete response forms the data from 500 responders was analysed. Results were analysed using an answer key prepared with the use of the Advanced Cardiac Life Support manual of AHA (2015). RESULTS Out of 500 responders, 250 were medical students, 100 were nursing students and 150 were House Surgeons. No one among them had complete knowledge of BLS & ACLS. Awareness of BLS & ACLS among students of medical, and nursing colleges and doctors is poor. Regarding knowledge of BLS (9 questions) the analysis of results showed that mean percentage of correct responses were 75.67 % of house surgeons, 51.78 % of nursing students and 20.98 % of medical students. CONCLUSIONS Awareness of BLS among students of medical, and nursing colleges and house surgeons is inadequate. Proper training programs must be initiated to rectify this.

Full textAbstract:
Pharmacist involvement on the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) team is associated with lower mortality rates. Despite this finding, pharmacists respond to cardiopulmonary emergencies in only 32% of institutions. The objective of this study was to determine the responsibilities and training of pharmacists as CPR team members and to assess their attitudes toward this role. A total of 1290 adult, acute-care hospitals were randomly surveyed nationwide. A total of 1108 questionnaires were received from 40% (517/1290) of institutions surveyed. Thirty-seven percent (189/517) of the institutions indicated that pharmacists participate on their CPR teams. Pharmacists' responsibilities at cardiopulmonary emergencies included recording medications administered (73.7%), medication preparation (96.6%), providing drug information (97.7%), and calculating doses (98.2%). The most common training methods were BLS certification (79%), the buddy system (59.4%), and continuing education programs (53.6%). Training methods that positively affected perceived qualification in the primary responsibilities were BLS/ACLS certification (P < 0.001) and training programs provided by the institution (P < 0.05). Positive attitudes toward participation on the CPR team were associated with the following factors: years of experience, BLS/ACLS certification, and the pharmacist's perception that he or she was adequately trained (P < 0.001). The results indicate that CPR team pharmacists should be proficient in providing drug information, preparing medications, recording medications administered, and calculating doses. Furthermore, because adequate training positively influenced pharmacists' attitudes toward participation and their perceived qualifications, we recommend that all pharmacists on CPR teams be required to obtain BLS/ACLS certification and participate in educational programs provided by their institution.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is the main stay of treatment to revive patient who are in cardiac arrest and traditionally it was conducted under the supervision of emergency, critical care and anesthesia department. Knowledge of CPR and preparedness towards CPR among other specialty remains questionable. It has been observed through there are ample of data from developed countries but there is a paucity of work in developing countries regarding the same. <strong>OBJECTIVE: </strong>To assess the knowledge and level of preparedness and to assess the perception towards cardiopulmonary resuscitation among physicians and to determine factors influencing the same and the recommendation for further improvement. <strong> </strong> <strong>METHODOLOGY:</strong> This cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted using a sample of 41 physicians employed in different specialties of Medica super specialty hospital using a pre validated questionnaire for a period of 12 months. Fischer exact test or Chi Kolmogorove -Smirnov analysis has been used to check if data is following the normal distribution. Pearson’s correlation analysis or Spearman’s rank correlation analysis has been used to assess correlation between two variables. <strong>RESULT :</strong> 41 physicians responded among 80 contacted (n=41,response rate= 51.25%).In our study The mean age of the participants was 39.46 (±9.01) years with a median of 38 years. The age ranged from 2564 years. 75.6% of the respondents were males. Major group of participants are belonged to emergency medicine (29.3% ) followed by non-interventional cardiology.43.9% of study populations are holding doctor level medical degree.39% of study population is holding ACLS /BLS certification. 100% of physician of study population are being aware of importance of CPR and 73.2% are keen to take part in CPR awareness programme. Most of the physicians (75.6%) believe teaching and mastering CPR intervention should be made mandatory to all medical undergraduates. There was no significant association of specialty, highest qualification, years of experience or presence of ATLS certification with score on question regarding main purpose of CPR. There was a significant association of score on this question with presence of ACLS/BLS Certification, with all respondents who possessed ACLS/BLS certification answering all options correctly. CONCLUSION :The study showed variable level of perception of knowledge and level of preparedness towards cardiopulmonary resuscitation among physicians and there are no single variable or determined factor for above. Though the study indicates there is correlation between the ACLS/BLS/ALS certification and knowledge of CPR further study and evaluation is needed in context of developing countries. It is<strong> also recommended a</strong> refresher course intending towards last years of medical school would be beneficial regarding knowledge of CPR

BACKGROUND: In 2015, approximately 350,000 adults in the United States experienced nontraumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and were treated by the emergency medical services (EMS) personnel. Despite recent increases, <40% of adults receive layman-initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and <12% apply an automated external defibrillator before EMS personnel. AIM: To know the ability of the Medan city community in handling cardiac arrest for the first time and implementing the 2020 AHA basic life support (BLS). METHODS: This study used a descriptive method with a cross-sectional approach and was conducted in the city of Medan in the period July–October 2021. Sampling used cluster sampling and purposive sampling with inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS: In this study, it was found that the majority of the people of Medan City had less knowledge about CPR in BLS. In this study, only respondents from Medan Marelan District were dominated by good knowledge by 80%. It was found that the people of Medan City have a good level of knowledge about these cardiac events, and the people of Medan City have a low level of knowledge about BLS and CPR. CONCLUSION: The ability of the people of Medan City in implementing BLS and CPR in BLS for cardiac events outside the hospital is still lacking.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to analyze research on CPR education for nursing students and nurses in Korea to identify research trends and propose future directions. Methods The methodological framework was based on a previous work by Arksey and O’Malley. The studies re viewed were found through electronic databases, such as KCI, RISS, PubMed, and CINAHL. The scope of the data was from January 2013 to December 2023. Each study was analyzed, and extracted data were abstracted into the following domains: general characteristics, study design, program characteristics, and program contents, program outcome. Results The 25 studies were reviewed. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training subjects were 22 nursing students (88%), 2 nurses (8%), and 1 new nurse (4%). 12 papers (48%) of Basic Life Support(BLS) papers and 13 papers (52%) of Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) (including Korean CPR KALS) were classified. Among the 25 selected papers, 16(64%) were simulation-based education as a teaching method, of which 5(20%) were applied to low-fidelity simulator and 11(44%) were applied to high-fidelity simulator. There were 13 debrief ing papers, and the majority of CPR education was conducted at a ratio of more than 1: 5 between instructors and students. In addition, Kirkpatrick's educational program performance measurement model was used to examine the performance of CPR education. Among the total of 25 studies 80 outcome indicators, 6 reaction level out comes (7.5%), 52 learning level outcomes (65.0%), 22 behavior level outcomes (27.5%), and result level outcomes were not found. Conclusions Appropriate BLS, ACLS education is essential for nursing students and nurses to adapt to their work. However, there was a lack of research on education programs for new nurses. Results indicate that it is necessary to develop various education programs for new nurses. Future researchers should focus on nursing education pro grams to enhance the clinical competency and apply effective debriefing.

Abstract Introduction: AVBRH is 1500-bedded tertiary care hospital that caters to patients from areas within more than a 50 km radius. Emergency medical services (EMS) are established and frequently on the run. The EMS team has 10 basic life support (BLS) ambulances with 20 drivers and 20 paramedical staff. Daily, 3–5 highly critical patients who are in need of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are transferred to the AVBRH hospital. The optimal medical care while transferring the patient to AVBRH hospital was unmonitored and without any benchmark. A low-risk simulation-based environment to practice can be valuable to maintain a wide array of skills. Effective and prompt delivery of expert instruction and guidance by a telesimulation is approved to be a beneficial approach in this setting. Training of EMS staff helps to improve patient care and satisfaction. Hence, we decided to undertake the simulation-based CPR training of the staff and correlate the outcome with existing mortality data of Medical record department (MRD). Objective: To optimize health care while transferring the patient to a tertiary hospital by BLS training and teleassisting. To see the impact of teaching and assisting on overall patient outcomes at the emergency department. Methodology: Forty EMS participants were enrolled and trained for 2 days. On day 1, they were trained in BLS, while on day 2, training in working as a team through simulation at school of virtual learning was done. They were trained to work as a team through simulated case scenarios with effective telecommunication while transferring the patient to the hospital. After training, these EMS staff were monitored and assisted according to the protocol of BLS by the emergency medicine department through telecommunication on the field for the next 3 months and reassessed again after the completion of 3 months. The following tabulated assessment format is used for EMS staff attending to the patient on the field. The prefield assessment on the same day of training and on postfield assessment after 3 months at school of virtual learning-simulation lab (SVL) was conducted. The data were gathered, tabulated, and analyzed for the percentage. Conclusion and Recommendation: Simulation-based teaching by a facilitator along with effective telesimulation creates an important link and gaps in the bridge between knowledge and technical skills. It has been found that overall patient care and performance of EMS staff was significantly improved; hence, recommendations for continuous assistance while transferring the patients are given. Training of the newly appointed EMS crew and the other available EMS services from the district should be aligned with assisted telecommunication services of AVBRH. Regular audit for quality improvement in EMS performance to be imparted.

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular diseases are the major public health concern worldwide. Sudden cardiac death (SCD), is the most common cause of death worldwide. BLS- Basic life support is a key component of chain of survival .It helps to maintaining an airway and supporting breathing and circulation without using any equipment.It involves CPR- Cardiopulmonary resuscitation - An evolving lifesaving technique in modern medicine that includes a series of lifesaving actions that improve survival rates.Physical therapists work in collaboration with clinical, nursing, emergency staff.They using exercise as a therapeutic approach, so they must have good knowledge and skills in CPR ,not only to deal with possible adverse cardiac events during exercise but also because the widespread application of CPR is early defibrillation can significantly reduce cardiac mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Self-administered questionnaire of 20 questions was formed and link of this questionnaire was spread from social media platforms. Questionnaire had three parts - Demographic data, Information regarding to Past experience of BLS, Knowledge about CPR. Total 105 students of all four years of B. physiotherapy and MPT Students filled the form. Statistical analysis of 101 students was done. RESULTS: Results shows that Physiotherapy Students have poor to average knowledge about BLS. Especially in knowledge of EMS, Methods of ventilation, chest compression depth, Rate of compression, choking strategies and recovery position after drowning. CONCLUSION: knowledge and awareness about BLS among physiotherapy students is inadequate and research is highly needed to establish effective strategies for improving the same. Key words: Basic life support, Physiotherapy students.

Abstract An estimated 500,000 deaths occur from drowning worldwide each year. A drowning happens when a person is submerged or immersed in fluid that subsequently blocks the airway and inhibits respiration. Drownings are labeled as witnessed or nonwitnessed for prognostic value. Regardless of whether the victim lives or dies in this process, they are considered to be involved in a drowning incident. Although shallow-water blackout may result in drowning, it occurs secondary to a specific sequence of events leading to hypoxia and subsequent loss of consciousness in shallow water (i.e., less than 15 feet deep). When someone is initially submerged in fluid during a drowning, they hold their breath until the carbon dioxide accumulates to a level that triggers inhalation. Because there is no surrounding air to inspire, the surrounding liquid is inhaled and laryngospasm may occur, leading to additional breath holding. The victim eventually becomes hypercarbic, hypoxemic, and unconscious. The ultimate mechanism of death is secondary to extreme and irreversible hypoxia. Cardiac arrest during drowning is due primarily to lack of oxygen. Consequently, it is important that cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) follows the traditional airway-breathing-circulation, or ABC, sequence and starts with five initial rescue breaths. Two risk factors associated with a higher incidence of death or severe neurologic impairment include time of submersion longer than 10 minutes and CPR for longer than 25 minutes. Early initiation of basic life support/advanced cardiac life support (BLS/ACLS) and time of submersion of less than 5 minutes are associated with improved outcomes.
