Does a Ventilation/Compression Ratio of 5:50 Alter Gas Exchange in Basic Life Support? A Simulation in a BLS-Model of Patients Undergoing General Anesthesia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: The goal of Basic Life Support is the oxygenation of vital organs during cardiac arrest. Therefore, chest compressions are combined with ventilation in a fixed ratio. This study investigated the influence of bag/mask ventilation on pulmonary gas exchange in anaesthetized patients performed with a ventilation/compression ratio of 2:15 com-

Rescuer fatigue does not correlate to energy expenditure during simulated basic life support
It is known that providing basic life support (BLS) may be limited by the physical capabilities of rescuers. The other factor that may affect BLS quality is its energy expenditure. Therefore, we decided to compare the energy expenditure of standard BLS with a compression-ventilation ratio of 30:2 (S-BLS) and compression-only BLS (CO-BLS) and assess the sensation of fatigue and perceived exertio...

AIM In order to elucidate the factors for willingness to perform CPR, we evaluated the responses of college students to questionnaires before and after basic life support (BLS) training. METHODS Before and after participating in a small group BLS course, 259 students completed questionnaires. A logistic regression model was used to elucidate independent factors for their willingness to attemp...

Background: During general anesthesia in patients with mediastinal mass compression effect on the heart, great intra thoracic vessels, or tracheal tree can lead to decrease venous return, cardiovascular collapse or tracheal obstruction. These complications may be worsened after induction of general anesthesia or prescribing muscle relaxants. Case report: A twenty one years old female with huge...
متن کاملتاثیر فشردن قفسهی سینه در زمان بازدم قبل از ساکشن داخل تراشه بر اکسیژناسیون خون شریانی بیماران تحت تهویه مکانیکی
Background and Objective: Hypoxia is a major problem in patients undergoing ventilation due to the high bronchioles secretion. This study aimed to determine the effect of expiratory rib-cage compression prior to endotracheal suctioning on arterial blood oxygenation (SpO2) in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. Materials and Methods: This clinical trial with a crossover design included 5...
