Background: The success of basic life support is determined by the role of the individual(s) who first encountered a patient with a heart attack, and he will be a helper in the situation. Lack of socialization and training for laypeople makes them unable to implement a right first aid in cases of cardiac arrest. There is a need for innovations in cardiac, pulmonary resuscitation for ordinary people to facilitate them in practicing compression measures.Technique: CPR mannequin is made of a plywood material in the shape of the human body; it is 34 cm long, 34 cm wide, and 6.5 cm high. There are 2 LED lights to detect the accuracy of the compression depth.Conclusion: CPR mannequin can facilitate and improve the skills of laypeople in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation

ABSTRAK Angka kejadian henti jantung atau cardiac arrest ini berkisar 10 dari 100.000 orang normal yang berusia dibawah 35 tahun dan per tahunnya mencapai sekitar 300.000-350.000 kejadian. Pertolongan pertama yang tepat pada kasus henti jantung adalah bantuan hidup dasar (BHD). Tindakan yang bisa dilakukan adalah  resusitasi jantung paru (RJP). Tujuan dari resusitasi jantung paru adalah mengembalikan sirkulasi spontan serta mempertahankan fungsi organ vital pada henti jantung dan henti nafas dengan melakukan kompresi dada dan bantuan nafas. Tujuan setelah dilakukan pelatihan ini diharapkan santri dapat berperan aktif dan dapat memberikan pertolongan pertama henti jantung dan henti nafas secara tepat serta mampu melakukan RJP. Kegiatan ini dilakukan dengan metode pemaparan teori tentang anatomi fisiologi sistem respirasi dan sistem sirkulasi, dampak dari henti nafas dan henti jantung, bantuan hidup dasar dan pada hari kedua dilanjutkan dengan praktik RJP melalui manekin. Hasil yang didapatkan sebagian besar santri (80%) memahami dan mengerti tentang bantuan hidup dasar dan mampu mempraktekkan RJP kepada manekin meskipun masih butuh pendampingan. Kata Kunci : bantuan hidup dasar, santri, pondok pesantren  ABSTRACT The incidence of cardiac arrest or cardiac arrest ranges from 10 out of 100,000 ordinary people aged under 35 years and annually reaches around 300,000-350,000 events. Appropriate first aid in cases of cardiac arrest is basic life support (BLS). Action that can be done is cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Cardiopulmonary resuscitation aims to restore spontaneous circulation and maintain vital organ function in cardiac arrest and stop breathing by performing chest compressions and breath support. After this training, the goal is that students will be able to play an active role and be able to provide first aid for cardiac arrest and stopping breathing appropriately and be able to perform CPR. This activity was carried out using the method of presenting theories on the respiratory system's physiological anatomy and the circulatory system, the impact of respiratory and cardiac arrest, basic life support, and on the second day, continued with the practice of CPR through mannequins. The results obtained were most of the students (80%) understood and understood basic life support and were able to practice CPR to the mannequins even though they still needed assistance. Keyword: basic life support, student, Islamic boarding school

Background: An effective ambulance is a vital requirement for providing an emergency medical service. Well-equipped ambulances with trained paramedics can save many lives during the golden hours of trauma care. The objective was to document the availability and utilization of basic life support equipment in the ambulances and to assess knowledge on first aid among the drivers.Methods: Descriptive design was used. Total of 109 ambulances linked to B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences were enrolled using purposive sampling method. Self- constructed observation checklist and semi structured interview schedule was used for data collection. Results: More than half of the respondents had less than five years of experience and were not trained in first aid. About two-third of the respondents had adequate knowledge on first aid. About 90% of the ambulance had oxygen cylinder and adult oxygen mask which was ‘usually’ used equipment. More than half of ambulance had equipment less than 23% as compared to that of national guidelines. There was significant association of knowledge with the experience (p = 0.004) and training (p = 0.001). Availability of equipment was associated with training received (p = 0.007), organization (p= 0.032)and district (p = 0.023) in which the ambulance is registered.Conclusions: The study concludes that maximum ambulance linked to BPKIHS, Nepal did not have even one fourth of the equipment for basic life support. Equipment usually used was oxygen cylinder and oxygen mask. Majority of driver had adequate knowledge on first aid and it was associated with training and experience.

Background: Every medical student in India have to undergo a compulsory rotatory internship for completion of their course where they encounter various medical emergencies and apply their medical knowledge. An early encounter to a basic life support course and training will increase the efficacy of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and thus the outcome of the patient. This study was designed to test knowledge of MBBS students in a tertiary care hospital.Methods: This observational study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Uttar Pradesh and used a preformed validated questionnaire to test awareness and knowledge of basic life support and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a sample of 500 MBBS students. Descriptive analysis was performed on the questionnaire responses. All data obtained from the questionnaire was evaluated and statistically analysed using software IBM SPSS Statistics software version 24 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) for MS windows.Results: With a response rate of 47% among 500 MBBS students, the mean score obtained was 2.34±1.066 out of a maximum score of five. A maximum score of 2.804±1.055 obtained by 5th-year students. Surprisingly, first-year students achieved an average score of 2.66±0.97, which was higher than that of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year students. 87% of students were like-minded to participate in the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) awareness program. Only 45% of students correctly answered the order of CPR as C-A-B (chest compression-airway-breathing).Conclusions: The study showed that though the awareness and importance of basic life support (BLS) are high among the medical students, the accurate knowledge required in performing BLS is inadequate. This study also showed that the National medical commission has taken a positive step in the incorporation of BLS in the curriculum.

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.

Introduction:Hyperventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) negatively affects cardiopulmonary physiology. Compression-adjusted ventilations (CAVs) may allow providers to deliver ventilation rates more consistently than conventional ventilations (CVs). This study sought to compare ventilation rates between these two methods during simulated cardiac arrest.Null Hypothesis:That CAV will not result in different rates than CV in simulated CPR with metronome-guided compressions.Methods:Volunteer Basic Life Support (BLS)-trained providers delivered bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilations during simulated CPR with metronome-guided compressions at 100 beats/minute. For the first 4-minute interval, volunteers delivered CV. Volunteers were then instructed on how to perform CAV by delivering one breath, counting 12 compressions, and then delivering a subsequent breath. They then performed CAV for the second 4-minute interval. Ventilation rates were manually recorded. Minute-by-minute ventilation rates were compared between the techniques.Results:A total of 23 volunteers were enrolled with a median age of 36 years old and with a median of 14 years of experience. Median ventilation rates were consistently higher in the CV group versus the CAV group across all 1-minute segments: 13 vs 9, 12 vs 8, 12 vs 8, and 12 vs 8 for minutes one through four, respectively (P <.01, all). Hyperventilation (>10 breaths per minute) occurred 64% of the time intervals with CV versus one percent with CAV (P <.01). The proportion of time which hyperventilation occurred was also consistently higher in the CV group versus the CAV group across all 1-minute segments: 78% vs 4%, 61% vs 0%, 57% vs 0%, and 61% vs 0% for minutes one through four, respectively (P <.01, all).Conclusions:In this simulated model of cardiac arrest, CAV had more accurate ventilation rates and fewer episodes of hyperventilation compared with CV.Nikolla DA, Kramer BJ, Carlson JN.
