CPR Training and CPR Performance: Do CPR-trained Bystanders Perform CPR?

The use of CPR feedback/prompt devices during training and CPR performance: A systematic review.

OBJECTIVES In lay persons and health care providers performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), does the use of CPR feedback/prompt devices when compared to no device improve CPR skill acquisition, retention, and real life performance? METHODS The Cochrane database of systematic reviews; Medline (1950-Dec 2008); EmBASE (1988-Dec 2008) and Psychinfo (1988-Dec 2008) were searched using ("Pr...

The Confronting Prejudiced Responses (CPR) Model: Applying CPR in Organizations

Chest compression-only CPR or good quality 30:2 CPR.

There is debate as to whether chest compression-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CC-CPR) or standard 30:2 CPR should be taught to laypersons. Equivalence in outcomes between standard CPR and CC-CPR has been amply demonstrated in communities with short ambulance response times of about five minutes. Depriving oxygen from a collapsed patient beyond six minutes results in poorer outcomes. Commu...

Systematic approach to CPR training urged.

Canada should develop a systematic and compulsory approach to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator training for all high school students and seniors, experts say. There's a particular need to train more people aged 55 or older as they are most likely to make use of CPR training, given that 85% of cardiac arrests occur in the home in the presence of family, ar...
