Filter by:AIM: To verify the effect of a feedback system on optimizing quality during CPR on mannequins. Hypothesis: The quality of CPR performed by healthcare professionals through a defibrillator monitor with a feedback system is higher than those that do not use a feedback system on a manikin. METHOD Type of study: Pre-experimental with pretest-postest design. Sample: Health professionals of the General Emergency Service of the Virgen de la Arrixaca University Hospital (HCUVA). Sampling type: Non-probabilistic for convenience. Variables: sex, age, profession, years of experience, last CPR training received, last time performing CPR, depth, frequency, quality CPR, perception of the quality of CPR. Statistical analysis: Student's t for related samples and McNemar.
In this study, the investigators compared mechanical and manual chest compressions in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases.
The investigators will evaluate the effect of a real-time audiovisual feedback system on CPR quality during in-hospital cardiac arrest.
The aim of this research is to evaluate and to compare the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) among untrained laypeople under two different scenarios: automated external defibrillator (AED) guided CPR or dispatcher-assisted CPR. Secondarily, to evaluate the quality of the dispatcher-assisted instructions provided from the emergency call center.
Analysis of factors that influence CPR survival of 1440 patients that were resuscitated in Istria County, Croatia between 2011-2017.
High-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is essential for return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in patients with cardiac arrest. However, some factors are known to be related with delays in chest compressions such as bed transfer, setting of CPR device, pulse and rhythm checks. This study aims to evaluate the potential impact of ultrasound on CPR quality by using retrospective video analysis. All CPR scenarios in our department were recorded and masked for the purpose of video analysis. The investigators will record in-scene resuscitation manpower, the factors to interrupt chest compressions and whether introducing ultrasound into resuscitation process is related with delays in chest compressions. In addition, the investigators collect the patient's sex, age, initial rhythm and prognosis, including ROSC, survival to admission and survival to discharge.
The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of telephone assistance and standardized basic life support courses on the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of automated external defibrillator (AED). The investigators hypothesize that bystanders can provide compressions in correct frequency and use an AED correctly as well as safely from telephone instructions but that correct and successful ventilations including correct open airway require training on a course.
Introduction: Training of health professionals in neonatal resuscitation reduces risks and adverse events during this intervention. Simulation-based education with constructive immediate feedback (debriefing) is an effective teaching method for personnel in charge of neonatal resuscitation. Objective: To evaluate two debriefing strategies for the development of neonatal resuscitation skills in professionals specialized in critical newborn care. Materials and Methods: A simple blind randomized clinical trial was conducted. Twenty-four professionals (pediatricians, nurses, and respiratory therapists) were randomly assigned for two interventions; one group received oral debriefing and the other oral debriefing assisted by video. Three standardized clinical scenarios that were recorded on video were executed. A checklist was applied for the evaluation, administered by a reviewer blinded to the assignment of the type of debriefing. Null hypothesis: The improved in the skills of neonatal resuscitation is the same for both strategies of debriefing. Alternative hypothesis: The improved in the skills of neonatal resuscitation is different for both strategies of debriefing
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is an important public health issue. Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, a university affiliated medical center in Taoyuan city, northern Taiwan, actively cooperated with the government policy to donate a total of 250 automated external defibrillators (AED) and to deploy them in public areas during the period of 2012 to 2014. In addition, nearly 200 courses of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) education for healthcare providers and citizens were provided. In order to keep the skills and the abilities of emergency medical responses in these 200 and more AED recipient areas, repeated CPR education and training should be implemented. Quality assurance and regular follow-up by medical directors with professional advice and feedback can therefore be provided at the same time. Therefore, this project aims to assess the quality of emergency responses in the recipient units in the next four years via regular follow-up by medical directors with advice and feedback. Continuing medical education of both e-learning and classes, online registration system, as well as first aid supplies will be provided at the regular follow-up visits. The results of this project will provide a feasible model of quality assurance of first aid and AED implementation program in the community.
In a randomised non-inferiority trial the investigators examine two training interventions to train paediatric basic life support to laypersons: Dyad training vs Instructor led training. For dyad training two participants are guided by video instructions and perform exercises on children resuscitation manikins. The participants take turn to complete the exercises and provide feedback to their peer. The duration is up to 50 minutes Instructor led training of paediatric basic life support in instructor led courses with up to 6 participants per course with hands-on training on children resuscitation manikin. The duration of the courses is up to two hours. Instructor led training represents the common gold standard for training Paediatric Basic Life Support, however it is inflexible and uses a lot of resources. Dyad training provides a low cost solution with improved flexibility. Consequently a non-inferiority design is chosen as the benefits of dyad training with the same learning outcomes favours the dyad training method. Prior to the training both groups are informed about and have access to a website with videos, quizzes, pictures and text information on paediatric basic life support and foreign body airway obstruction management.
