Clinical simulation: innovative educational project in basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation and advanced in pediatrics and neonatology
2019
[EN] Introduction: Nowadays, clinical simulation could be a key link in the teaching and learning of different procedures. Methodology: It is a quasi-experimental study, using three evaluation questionnaires as a method to collect the respective information to the acquisition of competences and satisfaction of the students regarding a theoretical-practical training on pediatric and neonatal CPR for students of 2nd year Nursing the University of Valencia. To this end, 17 RCP laboratories formed by 228 students were carried out. Results: The students gave a great reception to this project, giving it a score of 8.82 (SD 0.42) out of 10. The most valued item (by the students) was that in which …
Benefits of computer screen-based simulation in learning cardiac arrest procedures
2010
Medical Education 2010: 44: 716–722 Objectives What is the best way to train medical students early so that they acquire basic skills in cardiopulmonary resuscitation as effectively as possible? Studies have shown the benefits of high-fidelity patient simulators, but have also demonstrated their limits. New computer screen-based multimedia simulators have fewer constraints than high-fidelity patient simulators. In this area, as yet, there has been no research on the effectiveness of transfer of learning from a computer screen-based simulator to more realistic situations such as those encountered with high-fidelity patient simulators. Methods We tested the benefits of learning cardiac arre…
Assessing Prognosis Following Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Therapeutic Hypothermia
2013
SUMMARY Background: The prognosis of patients who are comatose after cardiopulmo nary resuscitation (CPR) is poor but can be improved by mild therapeutic hypothermia. We studied the question whether the known, reliable indicators of a poor prognosis after CPR are also valid for patients treated with CPR and hypothermia. Methods: This review is based on a selective search of the PubMed database for recent articles on the assessment of prognosis in persons who are comatose after CPR and therapeutic hypothermia. Results: On the basis of 21 clinical trials, 4 of which yielded level I evidence, 9 level II evidence, and 8 level III evidence, the following were identified as reliable indicators of…
Protocol of a multicenter international randomized controlled manikin study on different protocols of cardiopulmonary resuscitation for laypeople (MA…
2018
IntroductionOut-of-hospital cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death in industrialised countries. Survival depends on prompt identification of cardiac arrest and on the quality and timing of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation. For laypeople, there has been a growing interest on hands-only CPR, meaning continuous chest compression without interruption to perform ventilations. It has been demonstrated that intentional interruptions in hands-only CPR can increase its quality. The aim of this randomised trial is to compare three CPR protocols performed with different intentional interruptions with hands-only CPR.Methods and analysisThis is a prospective randomise…
Cardiac arrest and coronavirus disease 2019
2022
The impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on the cardiovascular system has been highlighted since the very first weeks after the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 identification. We reviewed the influence of COVID-19 pandemic on cardiac arrest, both considering those occurred out of the hospital (OHCA) and in the hospital (IHCA).An increase in OHCA incidence occurred in different countries, especially in those regions most burdened by the COVID-19, as this seems to be bounded to the pandemic trend. A change of OHCA patients' characteristics, with an increase of the OHCA occurred at home, a decrease in bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external d…
Carbon dioxide levels during pre-hospital active compression–decompression versus standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation
1998
Abstract In a prospective randomised study we investigated end-tidal carbon dioxide levels during standard versus active compression–decompression (ACD) cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) assuming that the end-tital carbon dioxide reflects cardiac output during resuscitation. In each group 60 patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were treated either with the standard or the ACD method. End-tidal CO 2 ( p et CO 2 , mmHg) was assessed with a side-stream capnometer following intubation and then every 2 min up to 10 min or restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). There was no difference in p et CO 2 between both patient groups. However, CO 2 was significantly higher in patients wh…
Zum Einflu� der pr�isch�mischen Blutzuckerkonzentration auf H�modynamik und regionale Organdurchblutung w�hrend und nach kardiopulmonaler Reanimation…
1996
Gegenstand der vorliegenden Untersuchung im Schweinemodell ist der Einflus einer pra-ischamischen Normo-, Hyper- oder Hypoglykamie auf Hamodynamik, regionale Organdurchblutung und Reanimierbarkeit nach 3minuti-gem unbehandelten Herz-Kreislauf-Stillstand und anschliesender kardiopulmonalen Reanimation (CPR). Hypoglykamie (Blutzuckerkonzentration von 34±2 mg/dl) war bereits vor der Reanimation mit einer deutlichen Beeintrachtigung hamodynamischer Parameter assoziiert. Keines der hypoglykamischen Tiere konnte erfolgreich reanimiert werden, im Gegensatz zu den hyper- (Blutzucker 319±13 mg/dl) bzw. normoglykamischen Tieren, die keinen Unterschied hinsichtlich der Erfolgsrate der Reanimation aufw…
Experimental Hyperthermia during Cardiac Arrest and CPR Is Associated with Severe Spontaneous Hypothermia in Mice
2012
Background: Since genetically engineered mice are becoming more and more available, these animals become of high interest to study physiologic and pathophysiologic pathways of brain ischemia. The aim of this study was to examine body temperature (Tb), physical activity variation and neurohistopathology in mice exposed to normothermic and hyperthermic cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CA/CPR). Methods: Male C57Bl/6 mice weighing 22 - 27 g were implanted intraperitoneally with a radio telemeter and subjected to 10 min cardiac arrest followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Normothermia (37.5°C) or hyperthermia (39.0°C) was induced by controlling pericranial temperature durin…
Simulación clínica en pediatría y neonatología: adaptación telemática del proyecto de innovación educativa
2021
[EN] Introduction: Framed within an educational innovation project in the nursing degree, we introduce the application of realistic scenarios, generated through the EDISON tool to deal with topics such as pediatric and neonatal CPR. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, an adaptation of the project to the telematic modality was proposed. Methodology: Analytical exploratory study where the effectiveness of a training intervention in a confinement context was evaluated. It was based on the use of audiovisual materials created through EDISON that configured a VideoBook that was made available to students through the Virtual Platform, evaluating its effectiveness through the final exam of the subject. …
