Impact of a 3-Month Recall Using High-Fidelity Simulation or Screen-Based Simulation on Learning Retention During Neonatal Resuscitation Training for Residents in Anesthesia and Intensive Care: Randomized Controlled Trial

Impact of a 3-Month Recall Using High-Fidelity Simulation or Screen-Based Simulation on Learning Retention During Neonatal Resuscitation Training for Residents in Anesthesia and Intensive Care: Randomized Controlled Trial

Neonatal resuscitation is a potentially critical situation that requires training. Nearly 10% of newborns and 80% of infants weighing less than 1500 g require resuscitation at birth, and the quality of care provided during the first minute of life is directly related to the prognosis [1-3]. Theoretical knowledge based on current recommendations and practical training are key for ensuring optimal neonatal resuscitation.

Interactive Serious Game to Teach Basic Life Support Among Schoolchildren in Brazil: Design and Rationale

Interactive Serious Game to Teach Basic Life Support Among Schoolchildren in Brazil: Design and Rationale

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation increase survival chances [3]. Serious games (SGs) are tools used to enhance the learning process through entertainment. Current strategies focus on teaching CPR to the community and schoolchildren [4]. While other games exist for teaching basic life support (BLS), no studies have validated these for children in low- to middle-income settings.

Effectiveness of Blended Versus Traditional Refresher Training for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Prospective Observational Study

Effectiveness of Blended Versus Traditional Refresher Training for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Prospective Observational Study

The survival status for OHCA is closely linked to the Chain of Survival of the American Heart Association (AHA), which emphasizes the early activation of emergency medical services (EMSs), early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and early defibrillation as the first 3 critical links [8]. These 3 interventions can be administered in a prehospital setting, and achieving high-quality outcomes following these interventions is pivotal to enhancing OHCA survival rates.

Effects of a Serious Smartphone Game on Nursing Students' Theoretical Knowledge and Practical Skills in Adult Basic Life Support: Randomized Wait List–Controlled Trial

Effects of a Serious Smartphone Game on Nursing Students' Theoretical Knowledge and Practical Skills in Adult Basic Life Support: Randomized Wait List–Controlled Trial

Reviews report poor cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by nursing students, despite the completion of adult BLS certification [5]. BLS knowledge and skills decline significantly within months of initial training [5,6]. For this reason, the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and American Heart Association guidelines recommend shorter and more frequent adult BLS training as it helps retain adult BLS content longer and maintain competency levels [7,8].

Documentation Completeness and Nurses’ Perceptions of a Novel Electronic App for Medical Resuscitation in the Emergency Room: Mixed Methods Approach

Documentation Completeness and Nurses’ Perceptions of a Novel Electronic App for Medical Resuscitation in the Emergency Room: Mixed Methods Approach

It is one the major local trauma centers providing 24-hour accident and emergency services and serves more than 190,000 patients per year, with over 300 resuscitation cases per month [21]. The tablet app was scheduled to be implemented in June 2020 but was postponed due to COVID-19. The app was eventually implemented in January 2021. In this study, we reviewed 2 types of resuscitation documents, namely paper and tablet-based resuscitation records.

Evaluating a Novel Infant Heart Rate Detector for Neonatal Resuscitation Efforts: Protocol for a Proof-of-Concept Study

Evaluating a Novel Infant Heart Rate Detector for Neonatal Resuscitation Efforts: Protocol for a Proof-of-Concept Study

Multiple metrics—respiration, infant color, and heart rate (HR)—are measured every 30 seconds to ensure successful neonatal resuscitation [2]. Out of these indicators, HR is identified as the most important for an effective resuscitation process [3]. HR guides decision-making and escalation of care, including positive pressure ventilation, endotracheal intubation, chest compressions, and administration of epinephrine.

Development of a Pilot Introductory Advanced Cardiovascular Resuscitation Course for Senior Medical Students in Switzerland: Student-Driven Implementation Study

Development of a Pilot Introductory Advanced Cardiovascular Resuscitation Course for Senior Medical Students in Switzerland: Student-Driven Implementation Study

These physicians should therefore be able to manage the first 10 minutes of resuscitation without external help. However, many studies show that senior medical students who are about to graduate are not proficient in resuscitation skills despite significant improvements throughout their curriculum [5-10]. Furthermore, most senior medical students feel unconfident putting these skills into action [1,11].

The Effectiveness of Online-Only Blended Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training: Static-Group Comparison Study

Basic life support (BLS) education plays a critical role in improving a community’s awareness of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rates. The outbreak of emerging infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, has become an obstacle to promoting BLS education in most emergency medical service (EMS) systems worldwide [1], and public willingness to perform CPR [2] and attend BLS classes has been affected by social distancing rules [3].

Virtual Reality for Emergency Medicine Training in Medical School: Prospective, Large-Cohort Implementation Study

Virtual Reality for Emergency Medicine Training in Medical School: Prospective, Large-Cohort Implementation Study

Emergency medicine is a clinical specialty that requires fast decision-making in scenarios that are usually complex and time sensitive, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) [1]. To impart the necessary skills, teachers currently use a variety of approaches, such as theoretical lessons, skill training, and simulation training with low- or high-fidelity simulators [2].

Developing and Testing a Protocol for Managing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation of Patients with Suspected or Confirmed COVID-19: In Situ Simulation Study

In light of these challenges, the American Heart Association (AHA), in collaboration with other professional societies, has recommended modifications to the standard CPR algorithms [1] and issued a COVID-19–related Interim Resuscitation Guideline (thereafter referred to as the AHA COVID-19 Resuscitation Guideline) [2]. Studies that applied the AHA COVID-19 Resuscitation Guideline and similar European guidelines are scarce [3-7].
