Introduction:First aid, particularly bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), is an important element in the chain of survival. However, little is known about what influences populations to undertake first aid/CPR training, update their training, and use of the training.Objectives:The aim of this study was to explore the characteristics of people who have first aid/CPR training, those who have updated their training, and use of these skills.Methods:As part of the 2011 state-wide, computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) survey of people over 18 years of age living in Queensland, Australia, stratified by gender and age group, three questions about first aid training, re-training, and skill uses were explored.Results:Of the 1,277 respondents, 73.2% reported having undertaken some first aid/CPR training and 39.5% of those respondents had used their first aid/CPR skills. The majority of respondents (56.7%) had not updated their first aid/CPR skills in the past three years, and an additional 2.5% had never updated their skills. People who did not progress beyond year 10 in school and those in lower income groups were less likely to have undertaken first aid/CPR training. Males and people in lower income groups were less likely to have recently updated their first aid/CPR training. People with chronic health problems were in a unique demographic sub-group; they were less likely to have undertaken first aid/CPR training but more likely to have administered first aid/CPR.Conclusion:Training initiatives that target people on the basis of education level, income group, and the existence of chronic health problems might be one strategy for improving bystander CPR rates when cardiac arrest occurs in the home.Franklin RC, Watt K, Aitken P, Brown LH, Leggat PA.

Abstract Study aim: This study aimed to determine the knowledge and skills of swimming coaches in providing first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Material and methods: The sample consisted of 59 swimming coaches who responded to non-standardized questionnaire. The collected data were processed by the statistical program IBM SPSS (20.0), using the Chi-square test with cross-tabulation, with a level of statistical significance p ≤ 0.05. Results: Obtained data showed a statistically significant difference in the knowledge of swimming coaches about first aid and CPR in relation to coaching experience (p = 0.025); in the knowledge of providing first aid and CPR between coaches who have a certificate of first aid and CPR and those who do not (p = 0.006) and in first aid and CPR knowledge between coaches who have renewed their first aid and CPR knowledge and those who did not (p = 0.045). Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study, swimming coaches included in this research did not have enough knowledge and skills in first aid and CPR, which makes swimming programs unsafe. By obliging swimming coaches to acquire and constantly improve their knowledge and skills in first aid and CPR, the environment for all swimming programs would become safer.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Globally, do-not-resuscitate orders have been used for many years. Due to the lack of a do-not-resuscitate policy, full resuscitative measures including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are applied for all patients admitted to our institution regardless of prognosis. Aims: To observe the outcomes of very old patients who underwent CPR, including mortality rate and length of stay. This will allow discussion of the need to implement a do-not-resuscitate policy in Bahrain, and its associated challenges. Methods: This was a retrospective observational study conducted in a 1200-bed tertiary hospital in Bahrain. We included patients aged ≥ 80 years admitted under general medicine who underwent CPR between January and July 2018. Medical records were reviewed for patients’ characteristics and outcomes. Results: Ninety patients were included in the study with an average age of 87.91 (6.27) years. The inhospital mortality rate was 96.67%, and 57.78% of patients died immediately after the first CPR attempt and 38.89% died during subsequent attempts. The survival rate at 1-year follow-up was only 1.11%. Conclusion: Survival of very old patients after cardiopulmonary arrest is low, and survival at discharge is even lower. The increase in the very old population will lead to a higher demand for critical care resources given the absence of a do-not-resuscitate policy. Our results demonstrate that implementing such a policy at our institution is crucial to reduce the number of futile CPR attempts, minimizing patients’ suffering, and optimizing resource allocation.

Objective: This review considers initiatives in various countries to include mandatory first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training in schools, key educational considerations and the supporting empirical evidence, in particular the relevance of first aid and CPR training to broader educational goals of student capability, resilience and self-efficacy. Method: Policy documents and reports from international first aid service providers (e.g. British Red Cross) were identified from websites while a parallel search of key bibliographical databases provided relevant papers on teaching first aid and CPR to school children in a range of countries. Results: Systematic reviews all show evidence to support the provision of first aid and CPR training courses and programmes in schools, with interventions effective in improving first aid knowledge and skills both post-training and in some studies up to 12 months afterwards. Important factors include ensuring the content is relevant and practical for the target group and offering an opportunity for young people to explore and discuss helping behaviour in emergency situations. Conclusion: Age-appropriate first aid and CPR instruction should be integrated into the school curriculum beginning in the primary years and developed/refreshed annually. Topics covered should include calling for help, bleeding, choking, burns, unconsciousness and resuscitation – all within the broader context of being confident and willing to help others. With the right training and support, schoolteachers can effectively deliver first aid instruction to their students. Future research should concentrate on gaps in evidence-based practice, especially measurements to demonstrate the effectiveness of first aid training, in order to advance the case for mandatory first aid education in schools.

AbstractIntroductionImmediate resuscitation is necessary in order to achieve conscious survival for persons who have lost airways or pulses. However, current literature suggests that even in medically-trained personnel, CPR skills are forgotten shortly after certification.Hypothesis/ProblemThe purpose of this study was to determine the CPR skill and knowledge decay in those who are paid to respond to emergency situations within the workplace.MethodsUsing an unconscious victim scenario, the sequence and accuracy of CPR events were observed and recorded in 244 participants paid to act as first responders in large industrial or service industry settings.ResultsA significant negative correlation was observed between days since training and a pre-CPR safety check variable, periodic checks for breathing and positioning. Many of the knowledge-related assessment skills (e.g., scene safety, emergency medical system (EMS) activation) appeared to deteriorate with time, although they could be contaminated by the repetition of training in those who had recertified one or more times. Skill-based components such as landmarking for chest compressions and controlling the airway declined in a more predictable fashion.ConclusionThe results of this study suggest that repetition may be more important than days since last trained for skill and knowledge retention, and methods of “refreshing” skills should be examined. While skills deteriorate rapidly, changing frequency of certification is not necessarily the best way to increase retention of skill and knowledge.Anderson GS, Gaetz M, Statz C.

This study was conducted among Vietnamese marriage-migrant women to investigate the effect of both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid healthcare trainings on their knowledge and attitude towards CPR, self-efficacy, and first-aid. The experimental and control groups revealed statistically significant differences across all dependent variables: knowledge of CPR (t = 3.26, p = 0.002); attitude towards CPR (t = 4.46, p = 0.019); self-efficacy during CPR (t = 2.77, p = 0.010); and finally, knowledge on coping with emergency situations (t = 2.77, p = 0.008). A significant difference was indicated in their knowledge and attitude towards CPR, self-efficacy, and first aid depending on whether they attended the healthcare training program, which suggested its educative effect. CPR training and relevant information should be continually provided to Vietnamese marriage-migrant women to maintain this effect, and help provide them with guidelines to deal with an emergency situation faced by their family or neighbors.

Full textAbstract:
ObjectivesThe incidence of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is low in China. CPR training could improve public attitudes and willingness, but at present, the attitudes of the public after online training are unclear. This study investigated individual attitudes towards CPR, the willingness to perform it in emergencies along with the main obstacles and the overall effects of online training.DesignQuestionnaires were distributed to investigate the public attitudes and willingness towards performing bystander CPR.SettingQuestionnaires were accessible after the online course ‘First Aid’.Participants1888 students who attended ‘First Aid’ from December 2019 to 1 January 2020 and then completed the questionnaire voluntarily.ResultsThe majority understood CPR (96.7%) and displayed a willingness to learn (98.4%) and to disseminate CPR knowledge (82.0%). Characteristics associated with more positive attitudes included women, the 26–35-year olds and those in medical-related occupations (p<0.05). Only 34.8% had CPR training before. Most people would willingly perform CPR on a close family member. Compared with the standard CPR (S-CPR), the public preferred chest compression-only CPR (CO-CPR) (p<0.01). The top three obstacles to performing CO-CPR were lack of confidence (26.7%), fear of harming the victim (23.4%) and causing legal trouble (20.7%), while regarding S-CPR, fear of disease transmission (22.9%) ranked second. Women, those in poor health and in medical-related occupations, were more likely to perform CPR (p<0.05). The confidence to perform CPR was improved remarkably after online training (p<0.05).ConclusionsThe overwhelming majority of respondents showed positive attitudes and willingness towards CPR. In some cases, there is still reluctance, especially towards S-CPR. Obstacles arise mainly due to lack of confidence in administering CPR, while online CPR training can markedly improve it. Therefore, we should focus on disseminating CPR knowledge, targeting those who are less willing to perform CPR and helping overcome their obstacles by online training.

Full textAbstract:
Background
According to data from Department of Health, in 2011 heart diseases was the second commonest leading cause of death in Hong Kong [13]. Shortening the time from cardiac arrest to Cardio-pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) could increase the chance of survival. If the brain of the patient who suffers from cardiac arrest does not receive oxygen within 4 minutes, severe brain damage might occur [14]. In some countries like US and Finland, dispatcher will give CPR instruction to caller when cardiac arrest is recognized. Therefore, the patient could receive early CPR before the arrival of paramedics. If dispatcher-assisted CPR is implemented in Hong Kong, the chance of survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patient could be increased.
Objective
1. To evaluate whether it is evident that dispatcher-assisted CPR and dispatcher instruction [22] would improve survival of OHCA.
2. To evaluate whether these measures could be implemented in Hong Kong.
Data Source
PubMed was searched for articles in English language with no limit set for time of the study. The keywords were dispatcher-assisted CPR and out of hospital. No inclusion criteria were set on the publication type and other details.
Results
Initial PubMed search resulted in 24 articles. After reviewing the abstracts, 10 articles were selected for full-text assessment. Finally, four relevant articles were selected for the literature review. Of the four papers, two were retrospective cohort studies; one was before-after comparison study while the remaining one was randomized control trial.
Three papers (Rea et al, Eisenberg et al, and Kuisma et al.) used the survival to hospital discharge as the effect measure for the primary outcome to evaluate the effectiveness of dispatcher-assisted CPR. The remaining paper (Hallstrom et al.) mainly studied the potential benefit and harm from dispatcher-assisted CPR.
Using no bystander CPR as the reference group, the multivariate adjusted odds ratio of survival was 1.45 (95% CI, 1.21, 1.73) for dispatcher-assisted bystander CPR and 1.69 (95% CI, 1.42, 2.01) for bystander CPR without dispatcher assistance [2]. The percentage of total bystander-initiated CPR increased from 45% to 56% after the programme (difference: 11.1%, 95% CI, ±9.3%). Besides, the percentage discharged for dispatcher-assisted CPR group after the programme was 15% higher than that before the programme [6]. The most important findings are related to the number of cardiac arrest calls in that when the dispatcher handled on less than 4 Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) calls during the study period, the survival to hospital discharge was 22.1% compared to 38.2% and 39.4% when the dispatcher handled 4 to 9 calls or more than 9 calls (p = 0.0227 for the three groups) [8]. With telephone guided CPR, the survival to hospital discharge was 43.1% compared with 31.7% when CPR instructions were not provided (p = 0.0453) [8]. In patients (n = 3,320) receiving advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) a total of 993 (29.9%) was found to be benefited from dispatcher-assisted CPR [7].
Conclusion
Instructions by dispatcher can improve bystander CPR rates, which in turn increases the chance of survival [26]. Dispatcher-assisted CPR is worth considering to be recommended to all callers reporting a patient in cardiac arrest in Hong Kong.published_or_final_version

The University Medical Center in Tucson, Arizona developed and implemented a procedure-specific Limitation of Medical Care (LMC) form on December 1, 1989 to address medical futility and lack of clarity in do-not-attempt-resuscitation (DNAR) orders. A retrospective review of two years of data, with 300 usable responses, showed an increased amount of participation by patients and their surrogates in the DNAR decision with the LMC form. Use of the form was also associated with an increased number of medical interventions specified to be withheld after a DNAR or LMC order was written. There was no decrease in expenditures or length of survival associated with use of the form, nor was there a decrease in the number of codes called for patients who had an order that resuscitation was not to be attempted. An average $13,347 of charges were accrued in the ICU for patients in the pre-form group, $4,314 on average being after a DNAR order was written. An average $21,957 of charges were accrued in the ICU for patients in the post-form group, $8,733 on average being after a DNAR order was written. An average $20,523 of total charges were accrued for patients in the pre-form group, $7,156 on average being after a DNAR order was written. An average $29,830 of total charges were accrued in the ICU for patients in the post-form group, $12,550 on average being after a DNAR order was written. Recommendations for the UMC Bioethics Committee and future research suggestions are presented.

Serious games are games designed to entertain and also to teach or transmit some knowledge. They are present in many areas such as military, health, manufacturing, education or medicine, just to name a few. One of their main advantages is their capability to recreate scenarios to experiment with situations that otherwise would be impossible in the real world due to required safety, cost, and time. In addition, serious games enhance the development of analytical and spatial, strategic, or psychomotor skills.
Unfortunately, despite the advantages of serious games there are still some aspects that need further research and development. On the one hand, there are communities such as visually impaired players which have many difficulties to access them since most of serious games rely on impressive graphics and immersive visual experiences. On the other hand, there are topics of relevant importance such as first-aid protocols that have been considered but only taking into account players with experience on the topic. With the aim to overcome these limitations and exploit serious games advantages as much as possible.Els jocs seriosos són jocs que, a més a més d'entretenir, ensenyen o transmeten algun coneixement. S'apliquen en diferents àrees com poden ser la militar, la salut, la indústria, l'educació o la medicina, entre d'altres. Un dels seus principals avantatges és la seva capacitat per recrear escenaris que permeten experimentar amb situacions que d'una altra manera serien impossibles a la vida real a causa de la seguretat, el cost o el temps que requeririen. A més a més, els jocs seriosos milloren el desenvolupament d'habilitats analítiques, espacials, estratègiques o psicomotrius. Malauradament, tot i els avantatges dels jocs seriosos, encara hi ha certs aspectes en els que cal més recerca i desenvolupament. D'una banda, hi ha comunitats, com les persones amb discapacitats visuals, que hi tenen moltes dificultats d'accés, ja que la majoria de jocs seriosos es basen en gràfics i experiències visualment immersives. D'una altra banda, encara hi ha temes importants com els protocols de primers auxilis que, tot i haver estat considerats en l'entorn dels jocs seriosos, només han tingut en compte als usuaris experts en la matèria deixant-ne fora altres perfils de judadors. L'objectiu d'aquesta tesi es ajudar a superar aquestes limitacions i aprofitar al màxim els avantatges dels jocs seriosos

Many research studies have shown that first aid education is important to save lives of individuals, but first aid skills are deficient in a society. A variety of instructional methods were introduced to increase the people who are equipped with first aid skills. However, it is still a debate over the best method of teaching first aid. Therefore, this dissertation aimed to analyze the effects of various instructional methods (traditional, case-based and web-based) on acquisition and retention of first aid cognitive, psychomotor and affective behaviors. Ninety participants (52 female, 48 male) included in the study were the second (n=3), the third (n=44), and the fourth (n=43) year students selecting first aid as an elective course at Middle East Technical University. As the course student list built up for those who would take the course, they were assigned to one of the three groups randomly before the treatment started: Group I-Traditional instruction (30 students), Group II-Case-based instruction (30 students), and Group III-Web-based instruction (30 students). Data were collected by using First Aid Cognitive Behavior Test, First Aid Psychomotor Behavior Tests (skill reporter manikin and skill checklist), First Aid Affective Behavior Scale, and qualitative interviews. All students in each instruction group were tested three times Statistical analyses included the Mixed Factorial ANOVA to examine the effects of independent variables (instructional methods and time) on dependent variables (first aid cognitive, psychomotor and affective behaviors). Results showed that instructional method had similar effect on students’
first aid cognitive behaviors. However, students&

"Efectividad y monitorización de la eficacia de las compresiones torácicas durante la reanimación cardiopulmonar: comparación entre cardiocompresores y uso del sistema NICO para monitorización del gasto cardíaco."

Full textAbstract:
A pesar de los avances realizados en el campo de la reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP), la supervivencia tras una parada cardíaca (PC) sigue siendo muy baja presentando una supervivencia al alta hospitalaria del 5-15%. En la PC, tanto en ritmos desfibrilables como no desfibrilables, la realización adecuada de compresiones torácicas (CT) es crucial para mantener un mínimo flujo sanguíneo que permita la perfusión de los órganos vitales, principalmente corazón y cerebro, con la finalidad de lograr la recuperación de la circulación espontánea con las mínimas secuelas neurológicas. Se han definido las características que deben tener las CT para lograr ese flujo mínimo: frecuencia 100-120 por minuto, que desplacen 5-6 cm el esternón, permitiendo la recuperación torácica completa entre las CT y minimizando el tiempo de interrupción de las mismas. A pesar de la simplicidad del gesto y del conocimiento general de las CT que tiene la población y el personal sanitario, está demostrado que, en la mayoría de los casos, éstas se realizan de forma incorrecta desde el inicio o paulatinamente durante la RCP por cansancio. Por otra parte, aunque la determinación del CO2 espirado (EtCO2) se ha relacionado con la efectividad de las CT, en la actualidad no disponemos de ningún sistema de monitorización de la efectividad hemodinámica y del gasto cardíaco que están generando las CT, lo que impide detectar y corregir los posibles errores que se estén produciendo en su realización.
Por todos estos problemas que implica la realización correcta de las CT de forma manual, se han diseñado y comercializado dispositivos de compresión torácica automáticos con la finalidad de obtener CT óptimas y de forma constante a lo largo del tiempo y en las diferentes circunstancias de la RCP clínica y así, teóricamente, aumentar la posibilidad de recuperación. LUCAS y AutoPulse son dos dispositivos automáticos comercializados de CT, con diferente mecanismo de acción, de los que no existen datos comparativos entre ambos respecto a las condiciones hemodinámicas que producen.
Esta tesis doctoral se dirige a los tres problemas citados anteriormente en un modelo experimental en cerdos. Los objetivos han sido, en primer lugar, la validación del sistema NICO no-invasivo de monitorización hemodinámica durante las CT, en segundo lugar, el estudio de comparabilidad de la efectividad hemodinámica y sobre el EtCO2 del dispositivo LUCAS frente a AutoPulse; y, por último, la caracterización de las lesiones histológicas pulmonares tras un periodo de RCP. Los dos primeros objetivos han dado lugar a la publicación de dos artículos.Survival after cardiac arrest (CA) remains very low despite the progresses in the field of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Only 5-15% of the CA victims are discharged from the hospital. The only treatment for CA, both shockable and non- shockable rhythms, is chest compressions (CC). Adequate CC are crucial to maintain a minimum blood flow that allows the perfusion of vital organs, especially the heart and brain, intending to achieve the restoration of spontaneous circulation with a good neurological outcome. The characteristics of the CC to achieve that minimum flow needed have been defined: a rate of 100-120 per minute, sternum displacement of 5-6 cm, allowing full recoil of the chest wall between each CC and minimal CC interruptions. Despite the simplicity and the extended knowledge of CC among the population and health personnel, in most cases they are performed incorrectly both from the beginning of CPR or gradually because of the fatigue. Moreover, although the determination of EtCO2 is related to the effectiveness of CC, currently we do not have a system for hemodynamic monitoring and measurement of cardiac output produced by the CC. The availability of a valid method for hemodynamic monitoring during CC may lead to detect and correct errors while performing CC. To overcome the errors in applying manual CC, automatic chest compression devices have been designed and traded in order to obtain both optimal and steady over time CC and at different circumstances of CPR and so, theoretically, to increase the possibility of survival. LUCAS and AutoPulse are two automatic devices that perform CC by different mechanisms of action. No comparative data regarding their hemodynamic effectiveness has been reported until now. This thesis addresses the three problems mentioned above in an experimental pig model. The objectives were first the validation of NICO, a non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring system, during CC; secondly, the comparability study of the 21 hemodynamic effectiveness and EtCO2 of the LUCAS device against AutoPulse; and finally, the characterization of pulmonary histological damage after a period of CPR. The first two objectives have led to the publication of two articles.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses how, in the instant the South Tower collapsed, the scale of the disaster had magnified, transforming the evacuation-in-progress into a full-blown rescue effort. The cloud rolling past the seawall blanketed the river's surface and blinded boat captains, forcing them to navigate by radar alone. But sometimes even the radar could not penetrate the particle-filled air. Nevertheless, ferry crews did not stop rescuing people: approximately 200 injured would end up transported aboard New York Waterway ferries by day's end. Despite the unprecedented scale of this disaster, mariners' “jack of all trades” capabilities proved essential in the aftermath of the attacks. Although the specific prerequisites have changed over time, attaining a Coast Guard “ticket” requires merchant mariners to complete training and earn certifications in first aid, CPR, and shipboard firefighting, among other specialized areas. On that morning, all that training was put to the test.

Full textAbstract:
First aid training is a fundamental requirement for healthcare programs. For Tec21, there is a week dedicated to educating students in this topic. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the faculty team to redesign the First Aid Week from face-to-face training into a remote learning practice. The purpose was to assess the perceived value of competencies learning, considering first aid emergency skills and interprofessional working. The method was mixed: quantitative with pre-test and post-test (Cronbach alpha 0.93 and 0.97) and qualitative analysis. The difference between expectations (pre-test) vs. achievements(post-test) was analyzed with Expectation Confirmation Theory (Olivares et al., 2019), which classifies results as positive confirmation (+DC), confirmation (C), and negative confirmation (-DC). A total of 253 students participated from Physician and Surgeon, Nutrition and Wellness, Dentistry, Psychology, and Biosciences. Twelve items were related to accident preventive teaching, basic life support, psychological first aid, role designation, and teamwork communication. Day one was about introduction and prevention. On day two, students learned about triage and self-directed group simulation. Third day included a CPR practice (using a DIY mannequin). On day four, students had lectures on psychological first aid and a role-playing activity with peers and instructors. Results indicated +DC on both competencies. Knowledge in practice was 3.34 (±1.13) (pre-test) and 4.84 (±0.57) (post-test) with a p-value of <.0001. Ethical practice and reflection were 4.40 (±0.46) (pre-test) and 4.15 (±0.62) (post-test) with a p-value of 0.025. Interprofessional working was 4.53 (±0.52) (pre-test) and 4.77 (±0.49) (post-test) with a pvalue of <.0001. The most common feedback from students was that they learned how to respond in an emergency. Interprofessional Healthcare Education promotes collaboration to enhance the quality of patient care. The distance teaching format was not a barrier to learning. The lack of commercial mannequins was replaced with low-cost simulation activity from home. This innovative immersive week helped students learn about first aid and increase their ability to respond to basic emergencies.
