Available literature suggests a need for both initial cardiopulmonary resuscitation training and refresher courses. The establishment of a pediatric chain of survival for victims of cardiopulmonary arrest is the focus of this technical report and is advocated in the accompanying policy statement. Immediate bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation for victims of cardiac arrest improves survival f...

The Royal College of Anaesthetists, the Royal College of Physicians, the Intensive Care Society and the Resuscitation Council (UK) have published new resuscitation standards. The document provides advice to UK healthcare organisations, resuscitation committees and resuscitation officers on all aspects of the resuscitation service. It includes sections on resuscitation training, resuscitation eq...

The article discusses a new approach to the formation of universal competencies aimed at teaching communication, teamwork and leadership. Methods are proposed for both theoretical block (Abstract-interview, thematic medical animation) simulation training (teamwork leadership during cardiopulmonary resuscitation) in study discipline "Anesthesiology, resuscitation intensive care".

Although large doses of epinephrine increase coronary perfusion pressure and flow during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, epinephrine also increases myocardial oxygen consumption during ventricular fibrillation. To test the hypothesis that epinephrine improves the balance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, myocardial adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) a...

OBJECTIVES To examine the effectiveness of a "cardiopulmonary resuscitation song" in improving the basic life support skills of secondary school students. METHODS This pre-test/post-test control design study enrolled secondary school students from two middle schools randomly chosen in Córdoba, Andalucia, Spain. The study included 608 teenagers. A random sample of 87 students in the interventi...

Aortic flow and pressure relations and aortic diameter were examined during sinus rhythm, internal cardiac massage, vest cardiopulmonary resuscitation, conventional manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation and high impulse manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation in 14 anesthetized large dogs. During sinus rhythm and during internal cardiac massage, ascending aortic flow and pressure increased simultan...

Although large doses of epinephrine increase coronary perfusion pressure and flow during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, epinephrine also increases myocardial oxygen consumption during ventricular fibrillation. To test the hypothesis that epinephrine improves the balance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, myocardial adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) a...

OBJECTIVES When systemic hypothermia was maintained before inducing cardiac arrest, the likelihood of successful defibrillation and meaningful survival was increased. When hypothermia is induced during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, mortality is also improved. With the introduction of the amplitude spectrum area as a predictor of the success of electrical defibrillation, we investigated the eff...
