Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) flow interventions are required as pediatric CPR tends to be chaotic, and documentation systems inclined adults. This paper presents the conceptual framework for exploring evaluating Resuscitation Feedback Form of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Institut Jantung Negara. The theory Planned Behaviour will used in this study explore team members' thoughts about PI...

Both dying children and their families are treated with disrespect when the presumption of consent to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) applies to all hospitalized children, regardless of prognosis and the likely efficacy of CPR. This "opt-out" approach to CPR fails to appreciate the nuances of the special parent-child relationship and the moral and emotional complexity of enlisting parents i...

Introduction Trans-nasal cooling started during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has shown to improve the return to spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival rate in an experimental prolonged cardiac arrest model. A multicenter randomized trial (PRINCE) has also suggested an improved neurological outcome in patients receiving trans-nasal cooling during CPR in the prehospital setting when c...

A chest compression system for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) has been developed in house successfully. An electronic control unit has been developed and the details of construction and working principles are presented. Ambu manikin and the details of CPR software to analyze the data are explained. It is shown that with this indigenously developed chest compression mechatronics system it i...

BACKGROUND Mechanical chest compressions have been proposed to provide high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but despite the growing use of mechanical chest compression devices, only few studies have addressed their impact on CPR quality. This study aims to evaluate mechanical chest compressions provided by LUCAS-2 (Lund University Cardiac Assist System) compared with manual chest c...

Cardiopulmonary arrest is the final result of many diseases and therefore, need for a careful implementation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) protocols in these cases is undeniably important. The introduction of ultrasound into the emergency department has potentially allowed the addition of an extra data point in the decision about when to cease cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The a...

Introduction: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation has a narrow window of opportunity. It must be started early and followed by defibrillation in a timely manner for maximal benefit. Many studies have demonstrated that health care providers trained in CPR lose their skills quickly. However, little research has been done to evaluate the retention of CPR skills in pre-clinical medical students prior to ...

Objectives In the UK, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) should be undertaken in the event of cardiac arrest unless a patient has a "Do Not Attempt CPR" document. Doctors have a legal duty to discuss CPR with patients or inform them that CPR would be futile. In this study, final-year medical students were interviewed about their experiences of resuscitation on the wards and of observing conver...

Background. This study compared outcomes of abdominal lifting and compression cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ALP-CPR) with standard CPR (STD-CPR). Materials and Methods. Patients with cardiac arrest seen from April to December 2014 were randomized to receive standard CPR or ALP-CPR performed with a novel abdominal lifting/compression device. The primary outcome was return of spontaneous circula...

BACKGROUND Induction of profound hypothermia for emergency preservation and resuscitation (EPR) of trauma victims who experience exsanguination cardiac arrest may allow survival from otherwise-lethal injuries. Previously, we achieved intact survival of dogs from 2 hours of EPR after rapid hemorrhage. We tested the hypothesis that EPR would achieve good outcome if prolonged hemorrhage preceded c...
