Playing Field

Resuscitation on the playing field is at least as important as screening in the prevention of death. Even if a screening strategy is largely effective, individuals will suffer sudden cardiac arrests. Timely recognition of a cardiac arrest with rapid implementation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and deployment and use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) will save lives. Basic life support, including CPR and AED use, should be a requirement for all those involved in sports, including athletes. An emergency action plan is important in order to render advanced cardiac life support and arrange for transport to medical centres.

Nurses Knowledge

Abstract Background: In Eritrea nurses provide most of the health care in the primary, secondary and tertiary level health facilities. The rate of trauma and medical emergencies are on the increase so nurses should have adequate and updated knowledge on Basic Life Support in order to be able to implement effective interventions in cardiac arrest situations. Aim: The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of structured training programme regarding Adult Basic Life Support on knowledge of nurses.Method: A quasi-experimental single group, pretest-posttest and retest design was utilized. Forty (40) nurses’ participated in the study. Structured and modified questionnaire was used to collect data.Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 22.0 program. Frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation was used to describe the data. One way repeated measures of ANOVA was used to check the possible change in knowledge of the nurses at pre- intervention, immediate and three months’ after intervention. A p-value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results: The findings showed an acquisition of Adult Basic Life Support knowledge among the study participants following a four hour Basic Life Support training programme. Before training, the mean score of the study participant on knowledge questions was 9.58/20 and none of the respondents got a pass mark. Immediately after the training the mean score of the study participants was increased to 15.9/20 and 55.0% of the study participant got a passing mark. Significant deterioration from the immediate training score was found three months following Basic Life Support training as score was decreased to 14.9 and 40% of the respondents got a pass mark. Nurses’ knowledge was improved from their pre-training scores, which clearly indicated a positive retention in Basic Life Support knowledge after training. Conclusions: The study findings present strong evidence that support the critical role of structured training programme about Adult Basic Life Support in improving nurses knowledge.

Nurses Knowledge

Objective: Awareness of the changes concerning the clinical guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is essential for nurses. This study aimed at assessing the nurses’ knowledge of the 2015 American Heart Association basic life support guideline algorithm. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, the knowledge of 183 nurses working in emergency departments, intensive care unit (ICU) and coronary care unit (CCU) regarding the 2015 American Heart Association basic life support guideline algorithm was investigated. Data were collected by a 20-item questionnaire regarding the knowledge needed for resuscitation operations as well as the identification of the early stages of cardiac arrest. Nurses with a score of 10 and less were put in the poor group, 11-15 in the fair group, and score of more than 15 in the good group. Results: Results showed that the highest percentage of the right answer was observed in questions 20 (98.4%), 11 (93.4%), and 1 (88%), while the lowest percentage of the correct answer was found in questions 13 (30.6%), 2 (31.1%), and 3 (32.8%). Mean ± SD of knowledge score was 12.3±2.2. A statistically significant difference was observed between knowledge of ICU nurses with an experience of basic life support educational course and those with no experience of such education. The knowledge score of educated and non-educated nurses was 11.5±2.2 and 13.2±2.5, respectively. Conclusion: This study indicated that ICU nurses do not have enough knowledge about basic life support of the 2015 American Heart Association guideline. Development of knowledge is one of the important components of professional expansion in nursing education programs.

BACKGROUND The knowledge and skills in Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is an essential part in the medical education. Resuscitation skills have undergone series of evolution into current protocol which involves Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). We wanted to assess the awareness of Basic Life Support among medical students, nursing students and house surgeons in a Government Medical College in Kerala. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted by assessing responses to 24 selected basic questions regarding BLS and ACLS among the students. After excluding the incomplete response forms the data from 500 responders was analysed. Results were analysed using an answer key prepared with the use of the Advanced Cardiac Life Support manual of AHA (2015). RESULTS Out of 500 responders, 250 were medical students, 100 were nursing students and 150 were House Surgeons. No one among them had complete knowledge of BLS & ACLS. Awareness of BLS & ACLS among students of medical, and nursing colleges and doctors is poor. Regarding knowledge of BLS (9 questions) the analysis of results showed that mean percentage of correct responses were 75.67 % of house surgeons, 51.78 % of nursing students and 20.98 % of medical students. CONCLUSIONS Awareness of BLS among students of medical, and nursing colleges and house surgeons is inadequate. Proper training programs must be initiated to rectify this.
