Cpr Training

Though many community cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training classes are available throughout the United States, disparities exist in training and receipt of bystander CPR for Chinese immigrants with limited English proficiency. To increase the number of persons prepared to respond to a cardiac emergency, a Chinese language CPR training program was offered in the community in collaboration with the Stanford Department of Community Partnership. Program leaders imported the American Heart Association approved Chinese version of Heartsaver® for Adult CPR and AED from the China Mainland to make the training accessible to Chinese immigrants with LEP. In 2018, two CPR training events were conducted with 47 participants. All participants successfully demonstrated bystander (hands-only) CPR skills with 91% of participants reporting confidence and 97% willingness to perform CPR. As the first known CPR class offered in the Chinese language in the San Francisco Bay Area using official AHA products, this project provides valuable information regarding community interest and feasibility for expanding this educational program.

Training Opportunities

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 facilitator conducted all the sessions. All discussions were taped, recorded, translated, and transcribed. Transcripts were analyzed by content analysis guided by the theory of diffusion. The majority of participants did not know of CPR and did not know where to get trained. Complexity of CPR procedure, advantages of calling 9-1-1, lack of confidence, and possible liability discourage LEP individuals to learn CPR. LEP individuals welcome simplified Hands-Only CPR and are willing to perform CPR with instruction from 9-1-1 operators. Expanding the current training to include Hands-Only CPR and dispatcher-assisted CPR may motivate Chinese LEP individuals to get trained for CPR.

Over 350 000 people in the United States experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) annually—and almost 90% die as a result. However, survival varies widely between counties, ranging from 3.4% to 22.0%—a disparity that the American Heart Association (AHA) largely attributes to variation in rates of bystander CPR. Studies show that regions with low rates of bystander CPR have low rates of CPR training, making CPR training initiatives a high-priority intervention to reduce OHCA mortality. In Houston, Texas, researchers have identified census tracts with higher OCHA incidence and lower rates of bystander CPR. We developed a free, annual Hands-Only CPR bilingual health education program central to these high-risk neighborhoods. In 5 years, this collaborative effort trained over 2700 individuals. In 2016, 2017, and 2018, we conducted a process evaluation to assess fidelity, dose delivered, and dose received. We also conducted an outcome evaluation using the Kirkpatrick Model for Training Evaluation to assess participants’ reactions and learning. Overall, the program yielded positive outcomes. Of the 261 respondents (from 314 attendees), 63% were first-time learners. The majority (87%) were satisfied with the event and 85% felt that information was presented clearly and concisely. Pre- and post-knowledge assessments showed a 51% increase in the proportion of respondents who could correctly identify the steps for Hands-Only CPR. This program exemplifies how collaborative education can impact a community’s health status. Leveraging each partner’s resources and linkages with the community can enhance the reach and sustainability of health education initiatives.

Background and Objectives. The quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an important factor in determining its overall outcome. This study aims to test the association between rescuers’ gender, Body Mass Index (BMI), and the accuracy of chest compressions (CC) as well as ventilation, according to American Heart Association (AHA) 2010 resuscitation guidelines. Methods. The study included 72 participants of both genders. All the participants received CPR training according to AHA 2010 resuscitation guidelines. One week later, an assessment of their CPR was carried out. Moreover, the weight and height of the participants were measured in order to calculate their BMI. Results. Our analysis showed no significant association between gender and the CC depth (P=0.53) as well as between gender and ventilation (P=0.42). Females were significantly faster than males in CC (P=0.000). Regarding BMI, participants with a BMI less than the mean BMI of the study sample tended to perform CC with the correct depth (P=0.045) and to finish CC faster than those with a BMI more than the mean (P=0.000). On the other hand, no significant association was found between BMI and ventilation (P=0.187). Conclusion. CPR can be influenced by factors such as gender and BMI, as such the individual rescuer and CPR training programs should take these into account in order to maximize victims’ outcome.

We present an experiential exercise to teach key principles of training design. Selected students participate in a self-learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation training program, CPR Anytime®, offered by the American Heart Association, while the rest of the class observes. The class then assesses the use of several training design principles in the observed program. Finally, students discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the training program, making recommendations for improvement.

The importance of education for Asian Americans looking to fight race-based discrimination, create a sense of community, and reclaim and establish an identity is well documented. In 1884, Mary and Joseph Tape, Chinese immigrants living in San Francisco, sued the San Francisco Board of Education and the principal of the Spring Valley Primary School—Jennie Hurley--after Hurley denied their daughter, Mamie, admission because she was “Chinese” (though born in the United States). The Superior Court ruled in favor of the Tapes, but in 1885, the School Board appealed the decision to the Supreme Court of California where justices upheld the lower court's decision. Though Mamie would not be able to attend Spring Valley after the School Board successfully pushed for state-wide school segregation legislation, many “white-only” institutions began to admit Chinese American children after the Tape case.

Each year in the United States 700,000 people die from the sudden onset of heart attack symptoms. Of these deaths over 350,000 occur in the prehospital setting. Many of these deaths are felt to be avoidable if a greater number of the lay public were trained in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.In the twenty-five years since Kouwenhoven, et al, suggested that closed chest cardiac compression and mouth-to-mouth artificial ventilation may artificially produce a satisfactory oxygenated systemic blood flow, there have been thousands of published research reports and articles focused upon a broad spectrum of subtopics ranging from the improvement of these techniques to the training of the lay rescuer. Knopp has suggested some parameters within which new CPR techniques must fall. First, any new skill should be applicable to the field setting. Second, the techniques should be simple to apply. And thirdly, any new techniques must be statistically linked with a significant increase in survival rates. Citizen Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) has taken on almost religious connotations. A national strategy has been adopted by the American Heart Association and American Red Cross to train the lay public using a variety of training techniques of varying lengths.

Background: The cardiovascular disease, especially the sudden cardiac arrest, was the main cause of death and disability throughout the world. The cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) that should be taken by the first responder or witness was an important part in the chain of survival out of the hospital that could improve the prognosis and avoid the rest of the symptoms. Hence, it is important for students to know and possess the skill, especially the cardiopulmonary resuscitation, to handle the emergency situation. University became the appropriate place to organize the CPR training because the students were more conditioned in emotional, social and cultural terms.Methods: This research utilized the quasi-experiment method. The total number of research subject was 56 Universitas Gadjah Mada students at Student Health Association. The implementation of intervention of this research was conducted on 07 July, 2018. The topic in this research intervention were formed based on American Heart Association (AHA) Guideline 2015. Pretest and posttest instrument were 10 multiple choices with five choices of answer.Results: This research proved that the CPR training gave effect on the improvement of the knowledge about emergency situation, particularly the cardiac arrest through cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The pre-test and post-test results showed that there was a knowledge improvement after the training (p=0,000).Conclusions: CPR training could be recommended to have an impact on increasing student knowledge in emergency management, especially cardiac arrest.

Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Cardiac arrest normally occurs out of hospital in which can threaten a person’s life. In some countries, the prevalence of out of hospital cardiac arrests has increased. American Heart Association (AHA) in 2013 published the statistic of hearth and stroke disease, it said that out-of- hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) case in the United States reached 359,400 people. From those populations, 40.1% received a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed by people around the victim and it was found that victim’s survival by 9.5%. This indicates that the people surround the victim have crucial role in increasing the survival of cardiac arrest patient. A number of people who are able to give CPR assistance when meet the cardiac arrest patients unexpectedly are still relatively low and varies with the lowest percentage 1% to the highest of 44%. The experience of emergency encourages people to be aware on any assistance to be conducted before advanced medical helps. By knowing the various emergency cases, it is expected that the community can perform appropriate assistance againts the case.
