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.

Background.The chances of fatal outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest are exceeding 90%. However, the early initiation of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) substantially improves the probability of survival. The study was aimed to determine the extent of community CPR training, level of CPR knowledge, willingness and motivation to learn CPR among the population of the Crimea.Materials and methods.The representative sample of adult residents of the Crimean Peninsula (n=384) has been surveyed by means of individual structured interview from November 2017 to January 2018. The results were analyzed with social statistics.Results.According to the survey, 53% of respondents were previously trained in CPR. The training was performed mainly (82%) at work, school, college/technical school or university, or when acquiring a driver's license. The majority of females, people over 60, unemployed and retired, widowed and those with monthly income lower than 20,000 roubles are not trained. Of previously trained, 44% respondents attended a single CPR course, 72% were trained more than one year ago, 47% of participants had no previous training in CPR, mostly never thinking about the need to go for training. Being dependent from previous CPR training, the knowledge of CPR is generally poor: the proportions of correct answering as of the proper location and rate of chest compressions were 46% and 4%, respectively. Among the respondents, 56% expressed their willingness to attend CPR training. The main motivating factors to attend CPR training were awareness of importance of CPR training, potential health problems in relatives/friends and free-of-charge training.Conclusion.The Crimean population is insufficiently and non-uniformly trained in CPR, has limited knowledge of CPR and low motivation to learn. In order to increase the commitment of the community to provide first aid in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, mass CPR training programs should be implemented with active involvement of the least trained and motivated social strata.

Introduction: Immediate bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is essential for the good outcome of sudden cardiac arrest victims. Current guidelines recommend dispatch-assisted CPR (DA-CPR), which can double the frequency of bystander CPR. Laypersons, however, are not familiar with how dispatchers provide CPR instructions. DA-CPR training may be effective at spreading DA-CPR, but this needs to be validated. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of brief DA-CPR training in addition to a standard CPR training course. Methods: We conducted a DA-CPR simulation study. Participants with no prior CPR training within 1 year were assigned randomly to one of two 90-min CPR training courses (DA-CPR Group: a standard CPR course with 10-min DA-CPR training or Standard Group: a standard CPR course with a simple introduction to how dispatchers deal with emergency calls). In the DA-CPR Group, the participants practiced the role of a dispatcher and an emergency caller. At 6 months after training, the subjects performed CPR for 2 min under instruction from off-duty dispatchers. Results: Of the 66 participants, 59 (DA-CPR Group, 30; Standard Group, 29) completed the simulation at 6 months after training. The median time intervals between call receipt and cardiac arrest recognition or instruction for chest compressions by dispatchers were similar between both groups. However, the subjects in the DA-CPR Group provided the first compression more quickly (median time interval between call receipt and the first dispatch-assisted compression: 108 vs. 129 s, respectively, p < 0.05 Mann-Whitney U test). The quality of chest compressions was, however, similar between both groups. Conclusions: All participants could perform DA-CPR at 6 months after training, but those in the DA-CPR Group started chest compressions more quickly. DA-CPR training might be effective for the immediate development of better cooperation between a layperson and a dispatcher.

Introduction: Since over 75% of sudden cardiac arrest events occur in the home where family members may be first responders, broad cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training for family members of high-risk cardiac patients represents a promising intervention. The use of mobile application-based (mApp) CPR training may facilitate this, but data on the approach are limited. Objectives: We compared CPR skill retention among those trained with an mApp and hypothesized that training with the mApp would be non-inferior to training with a well-established video self-instruction (VSI) kit. As a secondary analysis, we examined dissemination via the “multiplier rate” (i.e., those additionally trained by primary trainees) by intervention. Methods: We conducted a multicenter pragmatic, randomized control trial assessing non-inferiority of training family members of cardiac patients in CPR with an mApp (video, but no practice manikin) to training with an established VSI method (video and manikin). Subject’s CPR skills were tested 6-months post-training. We hypothesized that mApp training would be non-inferior to VSI training, with a non-inferiority margin set at 5 chest compressions (cc) per min. Results: From 01/2016-01/2018, 1446 subjects were enrolled at 8 hospitals with 685 trained with VSI, and 761 trained with the mApp. Of those, 541 were included in the skills analysis (275 VSI, 266 App). The mean age was 52±16 years and 69% were female. Mean cc rate was 85±34 per min; mean cc depth was 40±14 mm. When stratified by intervention arm, those trained with VSI had a mean rate of 86 per min (83, 90), compared to 88 per min (84, 92) with the mApp; those trained with VSI had a mean depth of 42 mm (41, 44), compared to 39 mm (38, 41) with the mApp. Findings were similar when accounting for loss to follow-up. We concluded non-inferiority of the mApp with a mean difference of 1 (-5, 7) cc per min for rate. Subjects trained with VSI shared with an additional 2±4 individuals compared to 1±2 (p<0.01) of those trained with the mApp. Conclusion: In this large prospective trial of CPR skill retention, the mApp CPR training approach was non-inferior to VSI training for family members of cardiac patients. Future work may include evaluating additional means for adoption and dissemination of the mApp.

Dismal survival statistics associated with sudden cardiac arrest have led to the development of new strategies and mechanical devices aimed at improving the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The most recent American Heart Association guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care were published in 2005. Major changes included revisions to current practices related to airway and ventilation, circulation, and defibrillation management. Greater emphasis is placed on providing simple, high-quality, effective CPR. New techniques and mechanical devices have been developed to augment CPR, hopefully improving survival rates and long-term outcomes. These include active compression-decompression CPR, Lund University Cardiac Assist System, LifeBelt, AutoPulse, and the impedance threshold device. This article focuses on current strategies aimed at improving survival rates for patients with sudden cardiac arrest. New techniques and mechanical devices developed to augment cardiopulmonary resuscitation will be discussed. These strategies will most likely shape future resuscitation practices.

External Chest Compressions

Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death worldwide. Despite significant advances in resuscitation science since the initial use of external chest compressions in humans nearly 60 years ago, there continues to be wide variability in rates of successful resuscitation across communities. The American Heart Association (AHA) and European Resuscitation Council emphasise the importance of high-quality chest compressions as the foundation of resuscitation care. We review the physiological basis for the association between chest compression quality and clinical outcomes and the scientific basis for the AHA’s key metrics for high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Finally, we highlight that implementation of strategies that promote effective chest compressions can improve outcomes in all patients with cardiac arrest.

Abstract Introduction A low proportion of bystanders in Slovenia are willing to provide resuscitation to people experiencing cardiac arrest. We measured knowledge acquired after cardiopulmonary resuscitation training among Slovenian children in the final three grades of primary school. Methods This pre- and post-test cohort study included 566 schoolchildren aged 12–15 years. From April to May 2018, we administered a 15-item questionnaire to children in 15 primary schools, to assess the effects of theoretical and practical cardiopulmonary resuscitation training on their knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation at 1–2 months after training. Data were processed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses. Results A significantly greater level of post-training knowledge was noted in all three equally sized school grade groups (p=0.001). The youngest group (mean age 12.5 years) exhibited the greatest increase in knowledge, with test scores increasing by an average 2.65 (range 0–15) points. Age (p=0.001), body mass index (p=0.037), female sex (p=0.006), and previous resuscitation training (p=0.024) were significant independent predictors of pre-training knowledge level. Sex was the only predictor significantly influencing knowledge levels after training (p=0.002); girls scored up to 0.7 points higher than boys, both before and after training. Conclusions Among Slovenian schoolchildren aged 12–15 years, a significantly improved level of theoretical knowledge was demonstrated after cardiopulmonary resuscitation training. The introduction of cardiopulmonary training may be most effective in children aged 12.5 years (seventh graders). Early, compulsory resuscitation training might reduce social barriers to performing resuscitation, which may eventually translate into better post-cardiac arrest outcomes.

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.

Abstract Background Immediate bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is essential for survival from sudden cardiac arrest. Current CPR guidelines recommend that dispatchers assist lay rescuers performing CPR (dispatch-assisted CPR: DACPR), which can double the frequency of bystander CPR. Laypersons, however, are not familiar with receiving CPR instructions from dispatchers. DACPR training can be beneficial for lay rescuers, but this needs to be validated. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of brief DACPR training for lay rescuers in addition to a standard CPR training course. Methods We conducted a randomized DACPR simulation pilot study. Participants with no CPR training within 1 year prior to this study were assigned randomly to one of two 90-minute CPR training courses (DACPR Group: a standard CPR course including DACPR training for 10 minutes or Standard Group: a standard CPR course with a simple lecture of dispatchers’ role). In the DACPR Group, participants practiced DACPR through role-playing of a dispatcher and an emergency caller. Six months after the training, the subjects in both groups performed CPR for 2 minutes under instruction by off-duty dispatchers. Results Out of the 66 participants, 59 (DACPR Group; 30, Standard Group; 29) completed the simulation. The CPR quality was similar between the two groups. However, the median time interval between call receipt and the first dispatch-assisted compression was faster in the DACPR group (108 s vs. 129 s, p = 0.042). Conclusions This brief DACPR training can be effective for lay rescuers to start chest compressions more quickly.

Background: More than 350,000 episodes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) occur annually in the United States, with less than half of the victims receiving bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Provision of bystander CPR has been noted to increase survival rates two to three-fold; however, bystander CPR is initiated in less than 50 % of out of OHCA episodes in the United States.Aim: The purpose of this pilot study was to create a sudden cardiac arrest safety net on a college campus. The American Heart Association (AHA) CPR in Schools Program© was provided to college students, athletes, faculty and staff.Method: A multi-group educational intervention with a pre- and post-test design. Results: Participant knowledge level of CPR and AED use significantly improved on the post test. Additionally, after attending the sessions participants reported an increase in comfort level performing CPR and improved knowledge of the locations of the AEDs on campus. As a result of the program, nine additional AED’s have been placed in high-traffic areas on campus.Conclusion: Empowering laypersons with the skills and knowledge to respond to potential episodes of OHCA are integral steps towards improving patient outcomes.
