OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between prevalence of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) related thoracic injury and patients' volume dimensions. STUDY DESIGN Observational study. PLACE AND DURATION OF Kartal Dr. Lutfi Kirdar City Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey, from August 2015 to 2019. METHODOLOGY Patients, who were in hospital due a non-traumatic cause, had experienced cardiac arrest ...

Purpose: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in end-of-life and critical patients, specifically cancer hospitals, often faces a dilemma between or non-resuscitation. This study will determine the predictors of failure for patients by expert agreement. Materials Methods: Predictor’s variables were collected from review 20 research journals based on who expired not successfully resuscitated. From...

AIM The primary aim of the study was to evaluate two different methods of communicating information on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to patients admitted to general medical and elderly care wards. The information was either in the form of a detailed information leaflet (appendix I) or a summary document (appendix II). The study examined the willingness of patients in seeking detailed info...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with chest compression only and conventional CPR on outcomes after cardiopulmonary arrest out of hospital. DESIGN Nationwide population based observational study. SETTING A nationwide emergency medical service system in Japan. Population All consecutive patients with out of hospital cardiopulmonary arrest, January...

BACKGROUND The use of mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has great potential for the clinical setting. The purpose of present study is to compare the hemodynamics and ventilation during and after the load-distributing band CPR, versus the manual CPR in a porcine model of prolonged cardiac arrest, and to investigate the influence of rescue breathing in different CPR protocols. METH...

BACKGROUND In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) outcomes vary widely between hospitals, even after adjusting for patient characteristics, suggesting variations in practice as a potential etiology. However, little is known about the standards of IHCA resuscitation practice among US hospitals. OBJECTIVE To describe current US hospital practices with regard to resuscitation care. DESIGN A nationa...

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...

In this paper we present the framework of a LIfe Support Simulation Application (LISSA) designed to teach and learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills. LISSA exploits video game technology to link in a single framework computer-based simulations of CPR emergencies with the functionalities of e-learning platforms. Emergency situations are presented as problems that the learner has to sol...

This work describes the knowledge and experience of dentists about cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). A total of 182 dentists from São Paulo State, Brazil were interviewed: 59% judged themselves able to define CPR, although only 46% had a correct concept; 54% believed himself to be able to perform CPR, however, none of them referred to have received practical training in CPR; 3% of the interv...
