conclusions no significant differences were observed between electronic learning and lecture-based education in improving interns’ knowledge of cpr drugs. background conventional educational systems seem to be improper throughout the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) teaching process. the most common causes of failed resuscitation are unfamiliarity with cardiopulmonary resuscitation algorithm...

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation-induced consciousness (CPRIC) is increasingly being reported across the world. High quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may transiently generate sufficient cerebral perfusion to cause signs of during CPR which disappears on cessation CPR. Here we present case a 56-year-old male presenting with myocardial infarction that led cardiac arrest and initiation he ...

background: the purpose of our study was to determine the effect of n-acetylcysteine (nac) administered after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) on renal function of the survived patients. methods: in this double-blinded randomized clinical trial, 44 patients who experienced cardiopulmonary arrest and underwent successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) were entered into the stu...

conclusions an insufficient formal education in cpr was registered for all groups, reflecting the lack of familiarity with new cpr methods. a team education, involving doctors and nurses may improve familiarity with cpr and patient outcomes. results the only difference between groups was regarding the male and female ratio, with more male surgeons (45, 55, and 11, p < 0.001). all doctors consid...

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has evolved over centuries with the greatest progress being made in the last 4 decades [1]. In 1958 and 1960 key advances were described by Safar [2] and Kouwenhoven [3] which have now become the basis for modern day basic life support (BLS) CPR. Extending BLS, advanced life support (ALS) guidelines have been developed to deal with the complex scenarios that ...

High-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been shown to improve survival outcomes after cardiac arrest. The current standard in studies evaluating CPR quality is to measure CPR process measures-for example, chest compression rate, depth, and fraction. Published studies evaluating CPR feedback devices have yielded mixed results. Newer approaches that seek to optimize CPR by measuring ...

Available literature suggests a need for both initial cardiopulmonary resuscitation training and refresher courses. The establishment of a pediatric chain of survival for victims of cardiopulmonary arrest is the focus of this technical report and is advocated in the accompanying policy statement. Immediate bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation for victims of cardiac arrest improves survival f...
