Goodbye to ABCD resuscitation?

ABCD matrix for reflection and refraction of laser beam at tilted concave and convex elliptic paraboloid interfaces and studying laser beam reflection from a tilted concave parabola of revolution

Studying Gaussian beam is a method to investigate laser beam propagation and ABCD matrix is a fast and simple method to simulate Gaussian beam propagation in different mediums. Of the ABCD matrices studied so far, reflection and refraction matrices at various surfaces have attracted a lot of researches. However in previous work the incident beam and the principle axis of surface are in parallel...

Evaluation of effective factors in the success of resuscitation of patients with in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest

Background: Previous studies have shown that several factors affect the outcome of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In this study, we have evaluated the factors associated with the outcome of resuscitation in in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest patients (IHCA) 002E. Methods: This cross-sectional non-probability study was performed on patients with in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest between 2015 a...

Comparison of Effect of Simulation-based Neonatal Resuscitation Education and Traditional Education on Knowledge of Nursing Students

Background: Simulation is used for teaching neonatal resuscitation; however, studies assessing the impact ofsimulation-based neonatal resuscitation education (SBE) have produced variable results. In this study, we aimed to assess the effect of SBE on nursing students’ knowledge.Methods: This experimental study was conducted at Faculty of Nursing of Neishabour University of Medical Sciences on 8...

Outcomes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the emergency department

Objective: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique useful in the prevention of death or delaying it in a person with cardiac arrest. In this regard, demographic information about patients who need CPR is vital. Methods: In this cross-sectional study patients with cardiopulmonary arrest or arrhythmias admitted to Imam Reza and Sina ed...
