The aim of the EuReCa ONE study was to determine incidence, process, and outcome for out hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) throughout Europe.This an international, prospective, multi-centre one-month study. Patients who suffered OHCA during October 2014 were attended and/or treated by Emergency Medical Service (EMS) eligible inclusion in Data extracted from national, regional or local registries.Data on 10,682 confirmed OHCAs 248 regions 27 countries, covering estimated population 174 million....
Informed by a series of systematic reviews, scoping reviews and evidence updates from the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation, 2021 European Resuscitation Council Guidelines present most up to date evidence-based guidelines for practice resuscitation across Europe. The cover epidemiology cardiac arrest; role that systems play in saving lives, adult basic life support, advanced special circumstances, post care, first aid, neonatal paediatric ethics education.
OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of clinician perception inappropriate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) regarding last out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) encountered in an adult 80 years or older and its relationship to patient outcome. DESIGN Subanalysis international multicenter cross‐sectional survey (REAPPROPRIATE). SETTING Out‐of‐hospital CPR attempts registered Europe, Israel, Japan, United States adults older. PARTICIPANTS A total 611 clinicians whom 176 (28.8%) were...
ObjectivesTraining children in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is one of the strategies to increase bystander CPR society. Reinforcing knowledge and awareness increasing willingness perform contributes a better outcome after cardiac arrest. We questioned schoolchildren, teachers principals about their importance CPR.MethodsDuring four-month period, Flemish schoolchildren aged 10–18 years, were invited complete survey consisting three parts: (1) demographics, (2) (training) experience (3)...
To develop a self-learning station combining video with computer exercises to learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) novices, and assess the efficacy of these two components on CPR acquisition.One hundred twenty-five pharmacy students were trained using learning-while-watching instructions followed by voice feedback. The proportion adequate skills (≥ 70% compressions depth ≥ 50 mm, complete release <5 compression rate between 100 120/min, ventilations volume 400 1000 ml) was measured at...
Adult basic life support refresher training using voice feedback manikins has been shown to be feasible, but the superiority of this strategy over instructor-led (IL) for nurses in a hospital not studied randomized trials.To study if adult self-learning (SL) station manikin is more effective than IL training.A Resusci Anne Skills Station (Laerdal, Norway) was installed small room. A total 235 were SL or training. After 1 month and after 7 months, proportions achieving mean compression depth...
Current methods to assess Basic Life Support skills (BLS; chest compressions and ventilations) require the presence of an instructor. This is time-consuming comports instructor bias. Since BLS testing a routine activity, it potentially suitable for automation. We developed fully automated station without by using innovative software linked training manikin. The goal our study was investigate feasibility adequate (effectiveness) within shortest period time (efficiency). As part randomised...
Alcohol abuse is a major health concern. The aim of this retrospective study was to analyse the alcohol-related emergency department (ED) admissions among adolescents in all hospitals distinct areas during 1-year period. In each hospital, ED patients with blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at least 0.5 g/l were surveyed standardised way. Of 3918 included patients, only 146 (3.7%) < 18 years. male-to-female ratio 1.5:1. There strong preponderance weekend and night time admissions. Most...
