2022 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations: Summary From the Basic Life Support; Advanced Life Support; Pediatric Life Support; Neonatal Life Support; Education, Implementation, and Teams; and First Aid Task Forces
2022, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :The full text of this CoSTR is on the ILCOR website.270 The SysRev performed as part of the 2015 ILCOR review265,266 identified 32 studies relating to BLS training in likely rescuers (eg, family or caregivers) of high-risk OHCA groups.273–304 One study298 from the 2015 review was not relevant for the revised outcomes in this update and was not included in this updated review.
A systematic review of basic life support training targeted to family members of high-risk cardiac patients
2016, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :The remaining studies were single centre studies conducted in the USA,32,33 China,20,34,35 Austria,3638 Korea,39 Pakistan,40 United Kingdom,41 and Greece.19 Finally, two studies recruited patients from Washington, USA via a cardiac arrest surveillance system that identified all pre-hospital cardiac arrests.17,42 One study conducted a secondary analysis from randomised controlled trial data.30
Part 8: Education, implementation, and teams. 2015 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science with Treatment Recommendations
2015, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :These studies used varying methods for CPR training and assessment of outcomes. In brief, there is insufficient evidence on patient outcomes to support or refute the use of training interventions in high-risk groups.60–70 Existing evidence on educational outcomes suggest likely rescuers are willing to be trained,63,71–77 are likely to share training with others,71,74,75,78–80 are unlikely to seek training on their own,63,79 and, after training, are competent in BLS skills and/or knowledge.33,71,73,74,78,81–90
The significance of protein S-100B testing in cardiac arrest patients
2011, Clinical BiochemistryCitation Excerpt :Nevertheless, other studies in suburban and rural areas have indicated higher rates of survival, up to 35% [14]. The placement of automatic external defibrillators in communities along with a major focus on training the personnel about their use has the potential to markedly improve the outcomes [14–21]. SCD often represents the first expression of cardiac disease in several individuals presenting with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and most cases occur in patients with structural abnormalities of the heart.
