In Medical science, proficiency in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is considered as a vital skill for physicians. For training CPR, medical professionals use mechanical manikin which has some drawbacks when it comes to the realism of simulation and feedback performance. This paper presents Virtual Reality (VR) based solution address these shortcomings. The approach here augmenting with VR u...

Objective(s): The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of mild hypothermia on expression of NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme-oxygenase-1 (HO-1) of rat cerebral cortex and hippocampus after cardiopulmonary resuscitation and further investigate the possible mechanism of action. Material and Methods:To copy an asphyxia heart arrest model, Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether real-time audio and visual feedback during cardiopulmonary resuscitation outside hospital increases the proportion of subjects who achieved prehospital return of spontaneous circulation. DESIGN A cluster-randomised trial. SUBJECTS 1586 people having cardiac arrest outside hospital in whom resuscitation was attempted by emergency medical services (771 procedu...

Outcomes after cardiac arrest remain poor more than a half a century after closed chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was first described. This review article is focused on recent insights into the physiology of blood flow to the heart and brain during CPR. Over the past 20 years, a greater understanding of heart-brain-lung interactions has resulted in novel resuscitation methods and tech...

EPINEPHRINE IS WIDELY USED IN cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, its effectiveness in CPR has not been established. Epinephrine is associated with increased myocardial oxygen consumption and ventricular arrhythmias during the period after resuscitation. Concern has been raised regarding increased myocardial dysfunction and distu...

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an effective intervention for prehospital cardiac arrest. Despite all available training opportunities for CPR, disparities exist in participation in CPR training, CPR knowledge, and receipt of bystander CPR for certain ethnic groups. We conducted five focus groups with Chinese immigrants who self-reported limited English proficiency (LEP). A bilingual fac...

Sternal and rib fractures are well-known complications of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). We experienced a rare case of traumatic gastric perforation associated with CPR that required emergency laparotomy. In this case, we examined whether surgery is essential for gastric perforation associated with CPR. A 67-year-old man experienced cardiopulmonary arrest in the workplace, and bystander C...

INTRODUCTION Every year in Poland 56,000 outside the hospital there is a sudden cardiac arrest.
 OBJECTIVES The aim of study was to determine level knowledge basic life support undertaken prehospital management rural areas. second objective assess needs for cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) training among adults areas.
 MATERIAL AND METHODS carried out with use an original questionna...

Central venous catheters are a commonly used medical device which may sometimes cause complications. We present first case who had an asystolic cardiac arrest during insertion of a central venous catheter, needed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and was resuscitated successfully. A46-year lady presented to the emergency department due to mushroom poisoning. Acentral venous catheter was inse...

This review will summarize some of the data published in 2010 and focus on papers published in Critical Care in regard to cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In particular, we discuss the latest research in therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest, including methods of inducing hypothermia, potential protective mechanisms, spontaneous hypothermia versus therapeutic hypothermia...
