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.

Outcomes of inpatient cardiopulmonary resuscitation in very old patients in Bahrain." Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal 28, no. 3 (March 29, 2022): 213–20. http://dx.doi.org/10.26719/emhj.22.010.
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.

In the current first aid skill departments, “Active Compression-Decompression CPR (ACD CPR)” is being discussed amongst a large number of professionals in the area. Both theory analysis and animal tests prove the rise of cardiac output, but the effects haven't been obvious in real life first aid procedures. This study, therefore, is by studying the interrelationship between ACD CPR and the user, to find out the cause that made ACD CPR effects not as obvious as expected, at the same time, pinpoint the problem and give solutions. The study looks at the ACD CPR device form analysis as well as the mechanical design of the kit and come up with solutions for each, at last using motion experiments to test the analysis results and reasonable guesses. Results show that the ACD CPR control panel design directly affects the quality of users' force exertion motions, and the height of the ACD CPR kit caused by mechanical design is another important effect. At the end, through a re-design and motion experiments we prove that the analysis and reasonable guesses of this study were correct, and the new ACD CPR device has truly made an improvement in the holding and griping area.

Aim. To study the demand for the massive open online course on basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and to evaluate effects of the training based on the socio-demographic profile of the audience.Material and methods. The data obtained from a survey conducted on participants of the online course «First Aid in Cardiac Arrest (Basic Resuscitation)» during a one-year period (07.2018–07.2019) were analyzed, including demographic data, initial and final levels of knowledge on CPR, and willingness to resuscitate a stranger. The 5-point Lickert scale was used for self-assessment of knowledge and willingness to attempt CPR.Results. The analysis includes data collected from 11,924 people, out of which 3,445 (29%) have completed the training. Eighty percent of participants live in the Russian Federation. The mean age of trainees, who completed the course, was 25.7 years, 45% of them were males, 42% had learnt CPR previously, 12% had medical education. As a result of the training, a significant increase (P<0.001) in the willingness to attempt CPR (from 3.26 to 4.16 points) and an increase in self-perceived CPR knowledge (from 2.24 to 3.98 points) were registered. The percentage of trainees who expressed a high level of willingness to perform CPR (4–5 points) increased from 44% to 81% (P<0.001). The course was more likely to be completed by those trainees who had previous training in CPR (p<0.001), who initially demonstrated higher willingness to provide CPR (P=0.003) or a higher level of knowledge in CPR (P<0.001). Trainees who had previous CPR training showed a much higher level of knowledge, higher self-confidence and a higher level of readiness to provide CPR (P<0.001). Approximately 14% of trainees with medical education reported having no previous training in CPR.Conclusions. The massive open online course promotes knowledge of CPR and serves as an important tool for increasing the willingness of lay people to provide first aid in case of cardiac arrest. Previous CPR training is a motivating factor to continue education in resuscitation.

Background: This study gauged public need and reception for a community-based first-aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training program in Lima, Peru, to counteract predicted emergency medical service (EMS) deficits.Methods: The study population consisted of Lima households that were selected with a two-staged 30x7 cluster sampling method. An EMS and first-aid focused knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP) survey was administered by a joint academic-community interview team.Results: The study included 210 households from 30 districts within Lima. Among the participants, 61.4% were unable to provide an EMS number and only 24.8% would call an ambulance in case of a family emergency. Although 37.6% could provide first-aid, 99.5% would feel more comfortable if a neighbor were first-aid trained.Conclusions: The results indicated a lack of confidence in Lima’s EMS systems and awareness of EMS contact numbers, which possibly led community members to trust each other over their local EMS. The creation of a community-based first-aid and CPR training program can potentially take advantage of strong intra-community trust, mitigate first-aid deficits, and alleviate Lima’s injury burden by providing a buffer against barriers to effective EMS responses.

Objective: The study evaluated the effectiveness of an online first aid course by comparing it with the traditional instructor-led course. An effective online course increases course accessibility and mitigates the major deterrent to widespread layperson training. Design: A comparison group design evaluated performances among 25 laypersons self-selecting the traditional course and 46 self-selecting the online course. Setting: Online participants completed the course in a location and at a time convenient to them. Traditional participants completed the course at testing sites. All attended a testing site for skills testing. Method: Eight instructors participated in traditional course delivery, skills review and practice, and skills testing. They assessed participants’ performance using standard checklists. Resuscitation mannequins captured objective performance data. Results: Instructors assessed all participants as passing all skills tests. None passed using the objective data but online course participants outperformed traditional course participants. Conclusions: The online course is effective. Its accessibility permits broader dissemination and use.

Abstract Early recognition and intervention in sudden cardiac arrest is crucial for survival. The majority of these cases happen at the victims’ home or in public places, and the first person to act is usually a bystander. The purpose of this study was to assess and to compare bystander’s and third-year medical students’ (who attended first aid courses and training as first year students) knowledge about cardiopulmonary resuscitation in Tîrgu Mureş. Material and methods: We used a questionnaire, which included 28 questions and was filled in voluntarily by 335 people. We investigated previous cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) experience, willingness to help in an emergency situation and basic knowledge about CPR techniques. Results: Only 15% of bystanders were trained in CPR. The majority (94%) of them knew when they have to resuscitate a person and the correct position the person be in. The location of chest compressions was known by 39% of bystanders and by 78% of third-year medical students, the exact rate of chest compressions by 14% of bystanders and by 66% of medical students. 49% of bystanders had driving license, and even though first aid training was required at driving school, their knowledge was barely better than those who did not have one. Conclusions: Bystander’s knowledge on cardiopulmonary resuscitation is generally poor. To improve it, CPR training courses are needed in the community.

AbstractThe Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) concept was initially developed for adult members of the community to help prepare for disasters and minimize damage when disasters occur. CERTs also served as a tool for building community capacity and self-sufficiency by supporting a diverse group of people working together in dealing with challenges affecting their communities. The novel approach to CERTs described here sought to involve high-risk youth from low-socioeconomic status communities in CERTs and first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training to help them build ties with communities, stay off the streets, and become leaders in the community. It also helped to provide different perspectives on life, while building more resilient communities better prepared to minimize damage when a disaster strikes. After the successful launch of the first high-risk teen CERT cohort in Watts (27 CERT-trained and 14 first aid/CPR-trained), the project was expanded to other community groups and organizations. Seven additional cohorts underwent CERT and first aid/CPR training in 2013 through 2014. This initiative increased CERT visibility within South Los Angeles. New partnerships were developed between governmental, nongovernmental, and community-based organizations and groups. This model can be used to expand CERT programs to other communities and organizations by involving high-risk teens or other high-risk groups in CERT training.

Full textAbstract:
The inception of organized youth sport in the United States began during the mid to late 1800s. With continual growth of organized youth sport throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, youth sport has not been without important, and at times, serious implications. One of the implications involves injury in youth sport and the basic need for qualified youth sport coaches to care for injury situations that might arise during the course of regular season practices and games.One hundred fifty-four youth sport coaches from seven different youth sport organizations were surveyed to determine whether the coaches had the basic first aid (FA) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation/automated external defibrillation (CPR/AED) training to serve their young athletes in the event of an emergent or non-emergent injury or sudden illness. Additionally, coaches were asked whether they had the confidence to manage a basic emergency injury or illness situation should such an occurrence arise during the course of a sports season involving regular practices or game competition. Major findings of this study revealed that only 19% and 46% of the 154 youth sport coaches surveyed were formally trained with basic first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation certifications, respectively. Additional findings indicated that youth sport coaches holding one or two of the suggested certifications possessed more knowledge and confidence than those youth sport coaches who did not hold certification to use that knowledge when faced with FA injury or illness situation. In consideration of these findings, recommendations should be made to encourage or mandate youth sport coaches involved with organized youth sport to become FA and CPR/AED certified.

Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death globally. The recommended clinical management in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases is the immediate initiation of high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Training mannequins should be combined with technology that provides students with detailed immediate feedback on the quality of CPR performance. This study aimed to verify the impacts of the type of feedback (basic or detailed) the responders receive from the device while learning CPR and how it influences the quality of their performance and the motivation to improve their skills. The study was conducted at the Medical University of Lublin among 694 multi-professional health students during first aid classes on basic life support (BLS). The students first practiced on an adult mannequin with a basic control panel; afterward, the same mannequin was connected to a laptop, ensuring a detailed record of the performed activities through a projector. Next, the participants expressed their subjective opinion on how the feedback provided during the classes, basic vs. detailed, motivated them to improve the quality of their CPR performance. Additionally, during the classes, the instructor conducted an extended observation of students’ work and behavior. In the students’ opinion, the CPR training with detailed feedback devices provided motivation for learning and improving CPR proficiency than that with a basic control panel. Furthermore, the comments given from devices seemed to be more acceptable to the students, who did not see any bias in the device’s evaluation compared to that of the instructor. Detailed device feedback motivates student health practitioners to learn and improve the overall quality of CPR. The use of mannequins that provide detailed feedback during BLS courses can improve survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Introduction. To reduce mortality from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest it is necessary to maximally involve lay public into the process of first aid (FA) provision. Whereas teaching staff constitute an extensive group of potential FA providers, little is known about real coverage of teachers with training in first aid for cardiac arrest and about efficiency of such training. Purpose. To investigate coverage with training in FA for cardiac arrest, evaluate knowledge and readiness to get trained among teachers of general education institutions on the level of a constituent unit of the Russian Federation. Materials and methods. An anonymous online survey of teaching staff of general education institutions was carried out in the Republic of Crimea in February-March 2021 with the assistance of the Ministry of Education of the Crimea. Results. The final sample consisted of five thousand nine hundred twenty one respondent (35.7% of the whole general education teaching staff of the Republic). Of all survey participants, 90.8% were females, 68.4% - individuals aged below 50 years, 67.7% - currently working in a rural area. The median work experience as a teacher was 14 years. 63.6% respondents had ever received some training in basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Of them, 54.8% completed CPR training more than one year ago. 36.4% surveyed teachers had never been trained in CPR. The level of knowledge regarding CPR was low. The choice of correct answers to the test questions and a higher self-rating of knowledge were associated with the experience of previous CPR training and less time interval since last CPR training (p < 0.001). 53.7% respondents stated that they would like to attend CPR training. Limitations. The survey methodology excluded the possibility of randomized selection of participants, which limits the representativeness of the study sample. Conclusions. The existing system of FA training does not provide proper coverage of teachers with training and retraining in CPR. Coordinated managing adjustments are necessary to increase readiness of the teaching staff to provide help in cardiac arrest. These adjustments should be primarily focused on improvement of legal regulation in the area of FA training, increase in availability and accessibility of the training and implementation of procedures for overseeing the effectiveness of the training.

Berdasarkan hasil penelitian pengetahuan masyarakat awam di Kota Bandar Lampung tentang pertolongan RJP masih sangat rendah. Sebagian besar fasilitas pelayanan umum mengatakan bahwa belum tersedia sumber daya manusia (SDM) yang terlatih dalam melakukan FIRST AID secara baik dan sesuai standar. Berdasarkan wawancara dengan kepala bagian SDM mitra pengabmas diperoleh informasi bahwa telah tersedia fasilitas pertolongan pertama (First Aid) dan Automated External Defibrilator (AED), namun belum pernah dilakukan pelatihan, sehingga pengetahuan dan keterampilan untuk melakukan pertolongan pertama masih kurang. Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah meningkatkan kemampuan dan kemandirian karyawan mitra pengabmas dalam pertolongan pertama terhadap korban kecelakaan dan henti jantung mendadak (HJM). Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut dilakukan pelatihan first aid, cardiopulmonary resusitation (CPR) dan automatic external defibrilation (AED). Metode kegiatan meliputi pre-test dan post-test, pemberian materi, simulasi, dan skill driliing. Hasil pelatihan pada 57 peserta diperoleh hasil sebelum pelatihan nilai rata-rata pengetahuan peserta yaitu 35,58 dan setelah pelatihan menjadi 75,43. Data kemudian dianalisis lebih lanjut dan diperoleh nilai p= 0,000. Dengan demikian ada perbedaan pengetahuan sebelum dan setelah pelatihan. Artinya pelatihan yang dilakukan berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan karyawan mitra pengabmas tentang first aid, CPR dan AED

For more than 20 years, our company has had the pleasure of working closely with medical authorities and active first aid organizations in many countries for the teaching and practice of life-support. The access thus gained by experience in the field permits me to present the following status report of CPR teaching of the populations in North America and Western Europe.HistoryBefore 1960, little or no life-supporting treatment was given to the seriously injured or acutely ill prior to arrival at the hospital. First aid was largely limited to dressing wounds and splinting broken limbs. The ambulance at that time merely served as a means of fast transportation.

Objective: To compare the impact of formal training in terms of knowledge retention regarding First Aid among medical students of selected medical colleges in Peshawar, Pakistan. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Three Selected Public and Private Medical Colleges in Peshawar. Period: November 2018 to June 2019. Material & Methods: A total of 150 students out of whom 75 had received formal training of first aid program one year back and 75 were selected as a comparative group who had no training in this regards. Data were collected on an indigenous questionnaire which incorporates the knowledge about basic terminology and important step taken for dealing with the different medical emergencies as first aid providers. Data were analyzed in SPSS version 20. Chi-square test was used for comparing the frequency of correct answers and p-value <0.05 was significant. Results: Among 150 students 52(34.7%) were male and 98(65.3) female. A comparatively high proportion of 54 (72.0%) of trained medical students correctly marked the meaning of “First Aid” and “CPR” as compared to 38 (50.7%) of untrained students (p=0.042). however, there was no significant difference in terms of knowledge regarding important step taken for patients with cardiac arrest, bleeding, burn emergency, fracture, and frostbite (p>0.05). Conclusion: The regarding knowledge of first aid program were more or less similar among trained and untrained medical students. However, comparatively higher proportions of trained medical students were able to correctly define the term first aid and CPR.

AbstractIntroduction:Bystanders can improve the outcome in emergencies by activating the “chain of survival.” Gaza’s (Palestine) population has little, if any, access to training in Basic Life Support (BLS) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The goal was to recruit local medical students to be life-saving first aid instructors, and have them train 3,000 laypeople in BLS and CPR.Methods:One hundred and seventeen medical students from Al Azhar University-Gaza (Gaza City, Palestine) were trained as BLS and CPR instructors. Twelve training hours were delivered in practical BLS and CPR skills, plus four in communication and didactical skills, to enable training of laypeople. Students answered a questionnaire exploring demographics, prior training experience, expectations, and motivation to join the training. Teaching material were developed after the European Resuscitation Council (ERC; Niel, Belgium) guidelines and similar training at The Arctic University of Norway (Tromsø, Norway).Results:A total of 117 medical students (52.1% female; 47.9% male), from third through sixth year, completed training, and all were in their early twenties. Ninety-five (81.2%) agreed to answer the questionnaire. Of those, five students lost family members during Israeli military operations. Eighty-two (70.1%) never had hands-on first aid training. Seventy-six (80.0%) hoped the training would improve their community’s response to emergencies. With 58 training sessions completed, 1,312 laypeople (596 males; 716 females) were trained: 5.52 lay trainees per student instructor. The majority (n = 1,012; 77.1%) were school students aged 13–20 years.Conclusion:It is feasible to recruit local medical students for practical BLS and CPR trainings targeting laypeople in communities under stress. The training impact on local resilience and patients’ outcomes need further studies.

Background.The chances of fatal outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest are exceeding 90%. However, the early initiation of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) substantially improves the probability of survival. The study was aimed to determine the extent of community CPR training, level of CPR knowledge, willingness and motivation to learn CPR among the population of the Crimea.Materials and methods.The representative sample of adult residents of the Crimean Peninsula (n=384) has been surveyed by means of individual structured interview from November 2017 to January 2018. The results were analyzed with social statistics.Results.According to the survey, 53% of respondents were previously trained in CPR. The training was performed mainly (82%) at work, school, college/technical school or university, or when acquiring a driver's license. The majority of females, people over 60, unemployed and retired, widowed and those with monthly income lower than 20,000 roubles are not trained. Of previously trained, 44% respondents attended a single CPR course, 72% were trained more than one year ago, 47% of participants had no previous training in CPR, mostly never thinking about the need to go for training. Being dependent from previous CPR training, the knowledge of CPR is generally poor: the proportions of correct answering as of the proper location and rate of chest compressions were 46% and 4%, respectively. Among the respondents, 56% expressed their willingness to attend CPR training. The main motivating factors to attend CPR training were awareness of importance of CPR training, potential health problems in relatives/friends and free-of-charge training.Conclusion.The Crimean population is insufficiently and non-uniformly trained in CPR, has limited knowledge of CPR and low motivation to learn. In order to increase the commitment of the community to provide first aid in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, mass CPR training programs should be implemented with active involvement of the least trained and motivated social strata.

The number of sudden cardiac death (SCD) has increased year by year, which has become one of the main causes of death in China. Timely cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and timely and accurate use of automatic external defibrillator (AED) can greatly improve the survival rate of patients with sudden cardiac death. Because the large probability of sudden cardiac death occurs outside the hospital, it is very important for the general public to master first aid skills. This paper will mine all kinds of data from multi-dimensional and multi-angle, analyze the mastery of public first aid skills in China, and provide practical suggestions and ideas for popularizing first aid skills in the future.

Full textAbstract:
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a serious social and economic problem, and control over it is highly dependent from the overall performance of the system of public first aid and resuscitation training. Coverage of the population with theoretical and practical training in basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is significantly limited in the Russian Federation, and the quality of training is generally low. Based on the analysis of international scientific literature and current international guidelines, this review is delineating modern organizational approaches and technologies of resuscitation training that help to enhance the efficiency and increase the accessibility of CPR training for lay people. In particular, the paper discusses methods of resuscitation training utilizing distant learning technologies, technical means for CPR skills training using feedback and virtual reality technologies, target audience and retraining intervals. Guided by the results of analysis of the cumulative experience, the directions for optimization of the resuscitation training system in Russia are proposed, that offer a perspective to improve coverage of the population with basic CPR training, increase the rates of bystander resuscitation and decrease mortality from OHCA.

Background: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is the emergency first aid in cardiac arrest. CPR delivery is influenced by knowledge and self-efficacy. Internship students can be the first responder of cardiac arrest in hospital and expected on having knowledge and high self-efficacy of CPR early. But there is no data on self-efficacy of internship students in performing CPR.Objective: The purpose of this research was to identify knowledge and self-efficacy of internship students in performing CPR.Methods: The method in this research was descriptive quantitative with cross-sectional approach on 76 internship students selected by simple random sampling. Knowledge questionnaire and Resuscitation Self-Efficacy Scale instrument were used in this research, with validity score 0.56-0.84 (α=0.91). Data were analysed by distribution frequency.Results: The results showed that 49 respondents (64.5%) had moderate knowledge and 73 respondents (96.1%) had high self-efficacy. The lowest domain in knowledge was conceptual knowledge, while in self-efficacy were reporting, debriefing and recording.Conclusions: Therefore, it becomes important to increase information on the conceptual knowledge and enhances training on the self-efficacy domain: reporting; debriefing and recording.

Full textAbstract:
Lay persons can learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with the instructors' method, and by self-training with the use of manikins. LSFA includes airway control (head-tilt, jaw thrust), mouth-to-mouth ventilation, control of external bleeding by direct compression and elevation, positioning for coma (stable side position) and shock (horizontal, legs up), and extrication from a wreck (rescue pull). LSFA so far has not included chest compressions for cardiac arrest. LSFA capability by bystanders who would treat injured victims in mass disasters might be the most important component to consider for disaster response. A LSFA self-training system, including a manual which coaches skill practice on one another, and an attractive first aid kit (A. Laerdal) was found effective in a study carried out in Norway. The present controlled study was to compare two self-training systems (designed by A. Laerdal et al), one with and one without the use of manikins, with the presently prevalent instructors' method and an untrained control group. The trainees were high school students in a typical community in Indiana PA, USA. The study was carried out in 1978–1979.

Background: The success of basic life support is determined by the role of the individual(s) who first encountered a patient with a heart attack, and he will be a helper in the situation. Lack of socialization and training for laypeople makes them unable to implement a right first aid in cases of cardiac arrest. There is a need for innovations in cardiac, pulmonary resuscitation for ordinary people to facilitate them in practicing compression measures.Technique: CPR mannequin is made of a plywood material in the shape of the human body; it is 34 cm long, 34 cm wide, and 6.5 cm high. There are 2 LED lights to detect the accuracy of the compression depth.Conclusion: CPR mannequin can facilitate and improve the skills of laypeople in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Full textAbstract:
In Third World countries there are many priorities that take precedence over cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Some more common concerns are malnutrition, infectious diseases (malaria, tuberculosis, measles and polio) and children's diseases such as diarrhea and dehydration. Other priorities such as sanitation, housing, primary and professional education, jobs and birth control, inflation (118% for Brazil in 1980), energy crises and balance of payments are important government priorities. Accident prevention in civil construction and traffic education should be of paramount importance in a country that holds world records of accidents in both sectors. After we consider the above priorities, first aid education and CPR are to be taken into account. This does not mean that CPR training is not to be undertaken until all of the other priorities are satisfied, but it does mean that the availability of funds and motivation will be relegated to a lower priority in countries that are developing and have similar problems.

Introduction: CPR is a very vital implementation in cases of cardiac arrest. The occurrence of cardiac arrest is influenced by several factors one of cause is drowning. Pool lifeguard is one of the jobs that has the potential to find cases of cardiac arrest but the majority of them have never received CPR training. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training on knowledge, attitudes and practices on the management of cardiac arrest. Objective: To determine the effect of pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training on knowledge, attitudes and practices on the management of cardiac arrest. Methods: This study uses a pre-experimental design with one group pretest-posttest design. The sampling technique uses total sampling of 10 pools lifeguards of Metro swimming pool, Kepanjen. Research conducted in May 16-17 2019 at Kepanjen Metro Swimming Pool. The independent variable is Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training and the dependent variable is the knowledge, attitude, and practice of cardiac arrest management. Results: Statistical tests using the Wilcoxon Test with result variable knowledge p value = 0.002; attitude p value = 0.007; and practice p value = 0.004. All three variables show the effect of CPR training with increase in knowledge, attitudes and practices in pool guards. Limitation of this study is time for evaluation too fast, only one day away from research. Conclusion: Several things that influence the results of this study are information exposure, experience, education level, body mass index (BMI), and gender. It is hoped that pool lifeguard can apply first-aid cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to drowning victims

En este contexto, con el objetivo de evaluar el conocimiento del profesorado de infantil y primaria (N=361) en RCP se realiza un estudio descriptivo aplicando un cuestionario dividido en dos partes: datos demográficos y preguntas relacionadas con el conocimiento teórico en primeros auxilios. Los resultados referentes a RCP señalan que el profesorado no tiene conocimientos, no existiendo diferencias significativas en relación con la edad, el género, con los estudios realizados ni con el tiempo de trabajo (p>0,05). Sólo existen diferencias significativas si se ha realizado un curso en primeros auxilios o no. En base a los resultados se concluye que es necesario formar en primeros auxilios poniendo especial atención en la reanimación cardiopulmonar tanto al alumnado de los grados de educación infantil y primaria como al profesorado en activo.

Full textAbstract:
Airway obstruction refers to suffocation caused by blockage of the airway due to a foreign body and is a common cause of accidental death in infants below one year of age. However, the current infant CPR manikins used for training in first aid for foreign body airway obstruction can only be applied to one single scenario. Furthermore, trainees’ first aid skills cannot be recorded and quantified with a digital system and, consequently, assessment of their skills is difficult to conduct. This study aims to overcome the technical limitations by developing an AR-based assessment system for training in first aid for infant airway obstruction. With this assessment system, trainees can learn first aid more efficiently and correctly and conduct a quantitative assessment of their skills digitally. For instructors, the time required for assessment, potential human error, and the cost of training can also be reduced. The system can be a practical learning tool that helps trainees assess emergencies and integrate their knowledge and skills.

The number of students with special health care needs (SHCN; McPherson, Arango & Fox, 1998) and the frequency of life-threatening health emergencies in schools (e.g., asthma, diabetes, severe allergic reactions, cardiac arrest, seizure disorders), continues to increase. It has become increasingly important for teachers to be trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use of automated external defibrillators (AED) in response to the growing number of students with SHCN in school settings and to assist life-threatening emergencies as they arise on school campuses. The purpose of this article is to describe a collaborative project that trained 38 preservice teachers to use CPR and AED in emergency situations. An established long-term goal of the project was to create a sustainable delivery model of three faculty members certified to train all preservice teacher candidates to competently provide first aid, perform CPR, and use an AED, while taking coursework and learning about support services for students with SHCN.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a first-aid key survival technique used to stimulate breathing and keep blood flowing to the heart. Its effective administration can significantly increase the survival chances of cardiac arrest victims. We propose 30 : 2, a videogame designed to introduce the main steps of the CPR protocol. It is not intended for certification and training purpose. Driven by the 2010 European Resuscitation Council guidelines we have designed a game composed of eight mini games corresponding to the main steps of the protocol. The player acts as a helper and has to solve a different challenge. We present a detailed description of the game creation process presenting the requirements, the design decisions, and the implementation details. In addition, we present some first impressions of our testing users (25 children, five of each age from 8 to 12 years old and 12 males and 13 females). We evaluated clarity of instructions and three settings of the game: the aesthetics of scenarios, the playability, and the enjoyability of each mini game. All games were well punctuated, and there are no significantly differences between their sex. The proposed game can be a suitable tool to disseminate and promote CPR knowledge.

The purpose of this original research was to survey high school coaches in four states in the Midwest region of the United States regarding their knowledge of first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) as well as confidence in managing/treating emergency situations. Responses to general knowledge inquiries revealed that coaches were able to accurately answer questions related to return to play, level of consciousness, external bleeding, and cardiac arrest. However, coaches were unable to correctly answer questions specific to rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) and also misidentified information related to pediatric AED use. Because sudden cardiac death is the leading cause of death and has been linked to lack of bystander intervention, the results of this project should be considered by coaches and administrators to implement certification and continuing education for high school coaches. Finally, coaches who were certified in first aid, CPR, and AED were more confident in treating an individual who required care compared with coaches not certified. Therefore, individuals who coach at all levels of sport and recreational activities should consider formal training and certification.

Full textAbstract:
Deaths due to heart diseases are a leading cause of death in Mexico. Cardiovascular diseases are considered a public health problem because they produce cardiorespiratory arrests. During an arrest, cardiac and/or respiratory activity stops. A cardiorespiratory arrest is rapidly fatal without a quick and efficient intervention. As a response to this problem, the VirtualCPR system was designed in the present work. VirtualCPR is a mobile virtual reality application to support learning and practicing of basic techniques of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for experts or non-experts in CPR. VirtualCPR implements an interactive virtual scenario with the user, which is visible by means of employment of virtual reality lenses. User’s interactions, with our proposal, are by a portable force sensor for integration with training mannequins, whose development is based on an application for the Android platform. Furthermore, this proposal integrates medical knowledge in first aid, related to the basic CPR for adults using only the hands, as well as technological knowledge, related to development of simulations on a mobile virtual reality platform by three main processes: (i) force measurement and conversion, (ii) data transmission and (iii) simulation of a virtual scenario. An experiment by means of a multifactorial analysis of variance was designed considering four factors for a CPR session: (i) previous training in CPR, (ii) frequency of compressions, (iii) presence of auditory suggestions and (iv) presence of color indicator. Our findings point out that the more previous training in CPR a user of the VirtualCPR system has, the greater the percentage of correct compressions obtained from a virtual CPR session. Setting the rate to 100 or 150 compressions per minute, turning on or off the auditory suggestions and turning the color indicator on or off during the session have no significant effect on the results obtained by the user.

Objective The aim of the present study was to determine whether a 1-day basic life support (BLS) training program can significantly increase emergency response readiness for primary school children. Methods One hundred and seven children aged 11–12 years completed a program led by surf lifesaving instructors. A 50-item quiz was administered 1 week before and 1 and 8 weeks after training. Results Significant improvements were gained in knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR; P < 0.001), the response sequence for emergency situations (DRSABCD action plan) and various emergency scenarios, including choking (P < 0.001) and severe bleeding (P < 0.001). Knowledge and understanding were retained at the 8-week follow-up. Students reported increased confidence in assisting others after training, consistent with previous studies. Conclusions A 1-day training program can significantly increase BLS knowledge and confidence to provide assistance in an emergency situation. Findings reinforce the value of school-based training that provides a general foundation for emergency response readiness. What is known about this topic? The importance and value of teaching BLS to school children is well established in the US, UK and Europe. However, in the past 20 years there has been little or no published Australian evaluation research in this area, despite thousands of training programs running each year around the country for children in first aid, CPR and water safety. What does this paper add? This paper confirms that Australian primary school children can benefit significantly from short, targeted BLS training programs that provide the basic skills and confidence for them to respond in an emergency situation. What are the implications for practitioners? The paper provides a training and evaluation framework that can be used by health educators for age-appropriate BLS programs. The study shows that making training real-world and relevant, especially having hands-on CPR practice with manikins, can address common barriers to performing first aid and CPR reported by young people.

Full textAbstract:
Aim: The main aim of the study was to assess the lifeguards’ knowledge of qualified first aid depending on: work experi¬ence, type of workplace, experience in providing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Material and methods: The study included 433 lifeguards. Males 60.05% (n=260). The mean age was 24.7±7.5. Management of a person after an episode of drowning, CPR, AED (automatic external defibrillation), oxygen therapy, methods of opening the airway were assessed using a questionnaire. Statistical analysis was carried out using PQStat set ver. 1.8.0.338. The correct answers in the group was compared by one-way analysis of variance and post-hoc test by Tukey and estimating the Fisher’s linear method. Test probability at p < 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: The mean of the results in the group was 74.65% ± 17.22. The correct answers in the study group differs significantly depending on work experience. The results in the group with the longest work experience are significantly higher than in the other groups. The correct answers in the surveyed group also differs significantly depending on the type of workplace. The results obtained in the group of sea lifeguards are significantly higher than in the other groups. The comparison of the groups indicates a significant trend proportional to the size of the waterbody. The correct answers differed significantly depending on the experience in providing CPR. Conclusions: Work experience, type of workplace and experience in providing resuscitation have an impact on the lifeguards’ knowledge of selected elements of qualified first aid. Attention should be paid to the education of the group with the shortest work experience.

[Objective] Sudden cardiac death (SCD) caused by unexpected cardiovascular arrest remains a major public health threat globally. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a basic but critical first aid skill to rescue patients with sudden cardiac arrest. This study aimed to ascertain whether the mind mapping technique, a note-taking and graphic thinking tool, could improve the learning of CPR among medical interns. [Methods] A total of 79 medical interns rotating in the emergency department in our center were selected as research participants. They were randomly divided into the control group (n=40) and the experimental group (n=39). The control group was trained with traditional PowerPoint (PPT) slide courseware combined with practical operations, while the experimental group was trained with mind mapping technique on the basis of traditional PPT courseware combined with practical operations. The theoretical test, operational assessment, and the survey regarding the satisfaction with the training were conducted between the two groups of interns after training. [Results] Although the interns in both groups mastered the CPR technique successfully with theoretical and operational assessment scores >90 (out of 100), the experimental group performed significantly better in both theoretical tests (score: 96.13±2.47 vs 93.71±4.48, p=0.0041) and operational assessment (score: 94.82±3.22 vs 91.32±3.46, p<0.0001). Moreover, all interns (100%) in the experimental group were satisfied with the CPR training experience, while only 75% of the interns in the control group were satisfied with the training. [Conclusions] Mind maps as a supplementary teaching tool could facilitate CPR learning for medical interns and improve their learning interest.

An emergency is an event that occurs suddenly, resulting in a person requiring immediate and appropriate treatment and assistance. Everyone needs first aid knowledge and skills. Emergency First Aid (PPGD) requires assistance and initial treatment that can be carried out by ordinary people, including students of SMK Pharmacy Kapasari Surabaya. The target of this activity is class XII SMK students consisting of 29 students. The purpose of organizing this educational activity is to strengthen skills so that participants receive provisions that can be applied to the community. This counseling will be held on May 18, 2022, located at Graha Ilmu, Jl. Intermediate Potato No. 81. Service activities use simulation and role play methods as well as discussions to increase knowledge about the material. Community service activities produce changes that are in accordance with the output targets, namely increasing students' knowledge, attitudes, and skills about First Aid with CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) or Basic Life Support, fractures, burns, choking and electric shock.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractWilderness medicine classes are widely available to archaeologists and field scientists, but because wilderness medicine is an unregulated field, knowing what the various courses and products mean can be difficult. Based on the education chapter in the recently published textbook Wilderness EMS, this article—written by same two authors as the book—explores a number of topics relevant for the field scientist, program director, or administrator seeking to obtain wilderness medicine training for archaeologists. The article first explores the history of wilderness medicine products and certificates available to interested parties. It then differentiates between the various products available today along with their benefits and limitations for the end user. Products and trainings described include certifications (including Wilderness First Aid [WFA], Wilderness Advanced First Aid [WAFA], Advanced Wilderness First Aid [AWFA], and Wilderness First Responder [WFR]), as well as single use or continuing education trainings (including Stop the Bleed, CPR, conference courses, and field schools). Particular attention is paid to the specific and actionable needs of a field scientist in remote areas.
