Comparison of Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation with Conventional Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Is Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Beneficial?

BACKGROUND With improvements in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques, the quality and the effectiveness of CPR have been established; nevertheless, the survival rate after cardiac arrest still remains poor. Recently, many reports have shown good outcomes in cases where extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was used during prolonged CPR. Accordingly, we attempted to evaluate the i...

Complications of cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Aim. In 1960, Kouwenhoven observed that forceful chest compressions can produce arterial pulses. At following years cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) continually advanced. Right now experts at the International Guidelines 2000 Conference strongly recommended development of inschool CPR programs as a primary educational strategy to ensure wide-spread learning of CPR. Rib and sternum fractures ...

The Effect of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Workshop on Nurses’ Sustained Learning

Introduction: The effect of the presence of trained personnel in the team on the outcome of resuscitation has been proved in previous studies. An informative need assessment, in the environment of present study, reveals the role of the nurses’ knowledge in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Therefore, this study was designed to determine the effect of education through workshop on nurses’ sus...

Management of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Since cardiopulmonary resuscitation was first described in 1960, it has become a standardized medical intervention. Separate guidelines have been developed for the neonatal and pediatric population, but none exist for the elderly population. This review will discuss recent available outcome data on resuscitation of the elderly and the known physiologic changes with aging that may affect decisio...
