During cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the interruption of manual chest compressions for rescue breathing reduces blood flow and possibly survival. We assessed whether outcomes after continuous positive-pressure ventilation differed from those that were interrupted ventilations at a ratio 30 to two ventilations.This cluster-randomized trial crossover included 114 emergency medical service (EMS) agencies. Adults non-trauma-related arrest...
Background Burnout is a multidimensional psychological syndrome that arises from chronic workplace stress. Health care workers (HCWs), who operate in physically and emotionally exhausting work contexts, constitute vulnerable group. This, coupled with its subsequent impact on patients public economic resources, makes burnout significant health concern. Various self-care practices have been suggested to positive effect among HCWs. Of these, physical activity stands out for ability combine...
