The Analysis of Ilan¡¦s Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) Patients Abstract The study uses Ilan¡¦s out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients as the research object to understand the variable backgrounds of OHCA patients how they are affected by first aid factors between the period of pre-hospital and post-hospital admission. The study also discusses whether there is a correlation between first aid factors and first aid prognosis among those OHCA patients during pre-hospital and post-hospital admission periods. The study is retrospective and based on the Utstein style format. It collects 284 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patient cases with trauma and non-trauma (282 effective samples) in an example of a regional teaching hospital in Ilan from 2007 to 2009. It uses descriptive statistics, independent sample t test, and Chi-Square test as the statistical analysis to obtain the following conclusions: 1. There are 282 effective sample patients in the study. There are 57 patients ( 20.2 %) who were return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest approximately 14.77 minutes on average. There are 33 patients (11.7 % ) who survived to be hospitalized for 15.36 days on average, and there are 6 patients ( 2.1 % ) who were discharged from the hospital. 2. Internal medicine disease is the major causative factor of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Among those internal medicine disease cases, the history showed hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and heart diseases are the main causes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Patients who are older than 65 years old are the main age groups, accounting for 67.7% of these cases. 3. The pre-hospital admission factors which affect the prognosis after the Emergency Department (ED) are the place of the accident, whether there are witnesses, scene process time , total reaction time , whether automatic external defibrillation was used, and whether people at the scene used CPR. 4. The post-hospital admission factors which affect the prognosis after the ED are initial cardiac rhythm, body temperature, pupil size , dose of epinephrine, whether defibrillation was used, the time of applying emergency first-aid, and medical expense. 5. The percentages of return of spontaneous circulation and survival rates in the study are lower than those of past studies of Taipei City and National Taiwan University Hospital. The possible factors are probably related to differences between rural and urban areas in the quality of emergency medical service systems (EMSS), and healthcare training. 6. From now on, in addition to improving the first-aid continuous monitoring system, we should also enhance EMT related training, and actively educate people to understand and learn CPR, so that comprehensive first-aid systems are available everywhere to effectively increase the success rate of first-aid.

No. of bitstreams: 1 DAVID_PONCIANO_DE_SENA.pdf: 7136289 bytes, checksum: 63e5ded0ad929d80daf354b846f5dd28 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-04-12 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior - CAPES / Aim of the Study: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a serious game for mobile platforms comparing with a video-assisted self-learning method to assist in the teaching and learning process of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) maneuvers. In a traditional training, CPR is based on learning by doing using a simulated model with the assistance of an instructor. However, this model presents an overall higher cost and less accessibility, provoking the need for cheaper and more accessible alternative methods. Methods: Forty-five volunteer first-year medical students completed a written multiple choice and practical pretest about CPR maneuvers skills and were randomly allocated into two groups. During a period of 20 minutes, the video self-learning group with 22 students was exposed to a video-based training about CPR, while the video game group with 23 students used a serious game simulating a cardiac arrest scenario where the student should perform virtual CPR to keep playing the game. Each group then performed, a written multiple choice score and practical post-test on a CPR training model while being evaluated by three blinded emergency doctors based on 2015 AHA-BLS (American Heart Association - Basic Life Support) protocol. Both groups were also evaluated about how long they kept interested on each self-learning system. Results: The video group had superior performance as confirmed by a written multiple choice score 7.56+-0.21 against 6.51+-0,21 for a video game (p=0. 001) and practical scores 9.67+-0.21 against 8.40+-0,21 for a video game (p<0. 001). The video game group stayed longer using the method as confirmed by 18.57+- 0,66 minutes for video game group and 7.41+-0,43 for the video group (p<0. 001), demonstrating greater interest in the video game method. Conclusions: The group that used a video game as a self-training method in a short period of exposure had a lower performance than the video group in both the theoretical and practical tests regarding cardiorespiratory resuscitation. However, there was a clear preference for students to use games rather than videos as a form of self-training. / Objetivo do estudo: O objetivo deste estudo foi desenvolver e validar um jogo s?rio para plataformas m?veis em compara??o com um m?todo de autoaprendizagem assistido por v?deo para auxiliar no processo de ensino e aprendizagem das manobras de ressuscita??o cardiopulmonar (RCP). Em um treinamento tradicional, a RCP ? baseada no aprendizado pela pr?tica, utilizando um modelo simulado com a ajuda de um instrutor. No entanto, este modelo apresenta um custo global mais elevado e de menor acessibilidade, despertando a necessidade de m?todos alternativos mais baratos e pratic?veis. M?todos: Quarenta e cinco volunt?rios, estudantes de medicina do primeiro ano, completaram um pr?-teste de m?ltipla escolha escrito e um pr?-teste pr?tico sobre RCP e foram alocados aleatoriamente em dois grupos. Durante um per?odo de 20 minutos, o grupo de autoaprendizagem v?deo, composto por 22 alunos, foi exposto a um v?deo de treinamento sobre a RCP, enquanto o grupo videogame, composto por 23 estudantes, utilizou um jogo s?rio, simulando um cen?rio de parada card?aca, onde o aluno deveria executar uma RCP virtual para continuar jogando. Ao t?rmino do treinamento, cada grupo foi submetido a um p?s-teste escrito de m?ltipla escolha e um p?s-teste pr?tico em um modelo de treinamento de RCP, sendo avaliados de forma cegada, por tr?s m?dicos com experi?ncia em atendimento de emerg?ncia, com base no protocolo 2015 AHA-BLS (American Heart Association - Basic Life Support). Ambos os grupos tamb?m foram avaliados quanto a quantidade de tempo que eles permaneciam interessados em cada sistema de autoaprendizagem. Resultados: O grupo v?deo apresentou desempenho superior confirmado por uma maior pontua??o no teste escrito de m?ltipla escolha, 7.56 + -0.21 contra 6.51 + -0,21 para videogame (p = 0. 001) e pontua??o no teste de avalia??o pr?tica 9,67 + -0,21 contra 8,40 + -0,21 para videogame (p <0. 001). O grupo videogame permaneceu mais tempo utilizando o m?todo, 18,57 + - 0,66 minutos para o grupo videogame e 7,41 + -0,43 para o grupo v?deo (p <0. 001), demonstrando maior interesse no m?todo do videogame. Conclus?es: O grupo que usou o jogo s?rio (grupo videogame) como um m?todo de autotreinamento em um curto per?odo de exposi??o teve um desempenho pior do que o grupo v?deo nos testes te?ricos e pr?ticos em rela??o ? ressuscita??o cardiopulmonar. No entanto, houve uma clara prefer?ncia por parte dos alunos em utilizar jogos em rela??o aos v?deos como forma de autotreinamento.

Bakgrund Vid ett prehospitalt hjärtstopp krävs utöver hjärt- och lungräddning med bröstkompressioner och defibrillering med hjärtstartare, även avancerad luftvägshantering för att skapa en fri luftväg vilket ambulanssjuksköterskan ansvarar för. Det finns en mängd olika luftvägshjälpmedel som ambulanssjuksköterskan kan använda sig av. För en del sjuksköterskor inom ambulanssjukvården kan en viss osäkerhet kring användningen av luftvägshjälpmedel finnas då de kan sakna rätt kompetens, utbildning eller ej fått tillräcklig träning i användandet för att utföra det på ett patientsäkert sätt.   Syfte Syftet med denna studie var att jämföra prehospitala luftvägshjälpmedel vid hjärtstopp utanför sjukhus i förhållande till överlevnad.   Metod Studien är en litteraturöversikt med kvantitativ ansats. Studien genomfördes genom en systematisk sökning av vetenskapliga artiklar vilka har jämfört olika luftvägshjälpmedel vid prehospitala hjärtstopp. Databaser som PubMed och CINAHL har främst använts. De utvalda artiklarna har kvalitetsgranskat.   Resultat Två huvudfynd framkom där mask- och blåsa var korrelerad till högre prevalens av överlevnad och där endotracheal intubering var korrelerad till högre prevalens att uppnå återkomst av spontan cirkulation.   Slutsats Av de inkluderade artiklarna visar resultatet på att mask- och blåsa är bästa alternativet för överlevnad och att endotracheal intubering är bästa alternativet för att uppnå återkomst av spontan cirkulation under ett prehospitalt hjärtstopp. Dock bör slutsatsen tas med försiktighet då resultaten kan skilja sig och bero på en mängd olika faktorer som skiljer sig åt i de olika studierna. / Background In addition to cardiac and pulmonary rescue with chest compressions and defibrillation with defibrillator, pre-hospital cardiac arrest also requires advanced airway management to create a clear airway for which the ambulance nurse is responsible. There are a variety of respiratory aids that the ambulance nurse can use. For some nurses in ambulance care, there may be some uncertainty about the use of respiratory aids as they may lack the right skills, education or have not received sufficient training in the use of it to perform it in a patient-safe manner.   Aim The purpose of this study was to compare prehospital airway aids in cardiac arrest outside of hospital in relation to survival.   Method The study is a literature review with a quantitative approach. The study was conducted through a systematic search of scientific articles comparing different respiratory aids at prehospital cardiac arrest. Databases such as PubMed and CINAHL have mainly been used. The selected articles have been quality checked.   Results Two main findings emerged where bag valve mask was correlated to higher prevalence to survival and where endotracheal intubation was correlated to higher prevalence to achieve return of spontaneous circulation.    Conclusion Of the included articles, the results indicate that bag valve mask is the best option for survival and that endotracheal intubation is the best option for achieving return of spontaneous circulation during a prehospital cardiac arrest. However, the conclusion should be taken with caution as the results may differ and depend on a variety of factors that differ in the different studies.
