متن کاملEffects of the use of theoretical versus theoretical-practical training on CPR.
BACKGROUND Theoretical knowledge and skill to perform good quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are essential for the survival of patients with sudden death.

METHODS Tw...
متن کاملCharging up the public for automated external defibrillators
Public training in the use of automated external defibrillators to treat out-of-hospital cardiac arrests has been receiving increased attention. The implementation of public access defibrillation programs has been the most significant intervention to improve survival in decades. Dramatic success came when we placed automated external defibrillators in the hands of the public to be utilized with...
متن کاملThe role of nurses in the resuscitation of in-hospital cardiac arrests.
Survival rates for in-hospital cardiac arrests are disappointing. Even though such arrests are often witnessed by a nurse, inadequate training may cause these first responders to have to wait for Advanced Cardiac Life Support trained personnel to arrive to perform defibrillation. The introduction of automated external defibrillator (AED) use by nurses was designed to address this problem, but s...
