Background and aims Pulmonary edema is one of the most common acute respiratory disorders that diagnosis and treatment of the disease still remain as a health problem. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of intravenous furosemide and nebulized furosemide in control of the symptoms of the patients with pulmonary edem. Methods In this clinical trial, 80 patients were enrolled with pulmonary edema. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. In the intervention group the patients received nebulized furosemide at a dose of 1 mg furosemide for 20 minutes in 2 mL of sodium chloride 0.9% and in the control group the patients received intravenous furosemide at a dose of 1 mg/kg. Then, hemodynamic parameters and estimation of the clinical severity of the pulmonary edema in both groups was performed for 2 hours. Results According to our results, we can say that nebulized furosemide is not superior to intravenous furosemide in reducing dyspnea and crackles in patients with acute pulmonary edema, but significantly improved respiratory rate and arterial blood oxygen and has less hemodynamic changes than the intravenous furosemide. Conclusions The results of this study showed the beneficial effects of nebulized furosemide in the treatment of pulmonary edema, which can be prescribed as a treatment in addition to standard treatment and significantly lead in better control of pulmonary edema in the short term.
Introduction: Effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation can increase the survival of patients with cardiopulmonary arrest. Aim of the research: To investigate the basic life support and advanced cardiac life support knowledge and skills of medical interns at Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences before and after a training workshop. Material and methods: This study was conducted in 2017-2018 at Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences before and after a training workshop. Data were collected using a questionnaire with 18 items including 11 basic knowledge and seven advanced knowledge items, which assessed the students' knowledge of the latest guidelines by the American Heart Association on cardiovascular resuscitation, before and after a training workshop. Results: A total of 55 students took part in the study. The mean score in the basic skills part increased significantly from 9.16 to 17.75 (p < 0.001). In the advanced cardiac life support group, the interns' score increased significantly from 8.88 ±4.66 before the workshop to 14.81 ±3.11 afterwards (p < 0.001), comprising a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The knowledge and skills of the interns' scores increased significantly after the workshop. Streszczenie Wprowadzenie: Skuteczna resuscytacja krążeniowo-oddechowa może zwiększyć przeżycie pacjentów z zatrzymaniem krążenia. Cel pracy: Ocena wiedzy na temat podstawowych i zaawansowanych zabiegów resuscytacyjnych oraz umiejętności stażystów medycznych na Uniwersytecie Nauk Medycznych Ahvaz Jundishapur przed warsztatami szkoleniowymi i po nich. Materiał i metody: Badanie przeprowadzono w latach 2017-2018 na Uniwersytecie Nauk Medycznych Ahvaz Jundishapur przed warsztatami szkoleniowymi i po nich. Dane zebrano za pomocą kwestionariusza zawierającego 18 pozycji, w tym 11 dotyczących podstawowych informacji i 7 dotyczących zaawansowanych informacji, dzięki którym oceniano wiedzę studentów na temat najnowszych wytycznych American Heart Association dotyczących resuscytacji sercowo-naczyniowej przed warsztatami szkoleniowymi i po nich. Wyniki: W badaniu wzięło udział 55 studentów. Średni wynik w części dotyczącej podstawowych umiejętności znacznie wzrósł z 9,16 do 17,75 (p < 0,001). W części dotyczącej zaawansowanych zabiegów resuscytacyjnych wynik stażystów znacznie wzrósł z 8,88 ±4,66 przed warsztatami do 14,81 ±3,11 po nich (p < 0,001), co stanowi istotną statystycznie różnicę (p < 0,001). Wnioski: Wiedza i umiejętności stażystów znacznie się zwiększyły po warsztatach szkoleniowych.
