“…This finding is in line with other authors and underpins the fact that children's physical characteristics play a role in the quality of chest compressions. [9][10][11][12][13] According to the literature the influence of gender on the compression depth in children is yet not clear. 10,14 Our data provide insight on the gender dependent evolution of the skills proficiency throughout the three different age groups (i.e., grades).…”

“…6,7,8 Achieving adequate compression depth is age-, height-and weight dependent and therefore children's physical characteristics play a role in the quality of chest compressions. [9][10][11][12][13] The influence of gender on the compression depth in children is yet not clear, but most likely related to body weight. 10,14 Moreover, the influence of rescuer fatigue, especially in younger children will also impact on compression depth over time.…”

Hands-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation training for schoolchildren: A comparison study among different class groups

et al. 2020

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Up to 70% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests are witnessed by family members, friends, and other bystanders. These bystanders can play a vital role in delivering help, before professional help arrives. Mandatory nationwide training of schoolchildren has shown the highest impact in improving the bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rate. In our study, we compared the competency of different classes of schoolchildren from middle school onward in learning hands-only CPR. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was conducted in four schools. Schoolchildren were divided into three groups as middle school (6 th to 8 th standard) (MS), secondary school (9 th and 10 th standard) (SC), and senior secondary school (11 th and 12 th standard) (SN). Training module consisted of slide presentation on “hands-only CPR” of 1 h, video demonstration of 30 min, and hands-on session of 2.5 h. Students were then individually assessed for the skills. RESULTS: A total of 810 children were enrolled and trained. Initial approach was performed correctly by 68% of MS, 79.3% of SC, and 82.4% of SN school children, whereas 49.4% of MS, 61.3% of SC, and 72.5% of SN correctly performed chest compression in terms of rate, depth, and duration. Median compression depth and maximum duration of CPR achieved were significantly different across class groups ( P < 0.001) Compression depth and duration of chest compression were positively correlated with children's age, height, weight, and body mass index ( P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Theoretical training on hands-only CPR can be started at the middle school level, and practical training can be incorporated in school curricula from secondary school.

Giriş: Çalışmanın temel amacı görsel ve işitsel geri bildirim içeren eğitimin canlandırma uygulamalarının yeterliliği üzerine etkilerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntemler: Araştırma Akdeniz Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Simülasyon Merkezi'nde 31 çocuk sağlığı ve hastalıkları anabilim dalı araştırma görevlisi ile yapılmıştır. Maket üzerine yerleştirilen algaçlar ile göğüs basısı derinliği ve sayısı iki dakikalık canlandırma süresince kayıt edilmiştir. İlk değerlendirmeden 1 hafta sonra 5 dakikalık bireysel görsel ve işitsel geri bildirim içeren uygulamalı eğitim verilmiştir. Sonrasında ilk değerlendirme yeniden yapılarak eğitimin istenilen hedeflere ulaşmadaki etkinliği araştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmada eğitim sonrası bası derinliğinin ortalamasında 4,44±0,9'dan 4,67±0,9'a istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmayan bir artış sağlanabilirken, ortalama göğüs basısı sayısı 123,8±20/dk'den, eğitim sonrasında ortalama 113,7±22/dk düşmüştür. Hedeflenen hızdaki bası yüzdelerinin ortalaması %27,9'dan %53,6'ya artmıştır. Sonuç: Görsel ve işitsel geri bildirimli bireysel eğitim canlandırmanın kalitesi üzerine etkilidir. Hedef hız ve derinlikteki bası oranlarında artış sağlamıştır. Eğitim sonrasında araştırma görevlileri arasında göğüs basılarının hız ve derinlikleri açısından değişkenliğin halen ciddi oranda devam ettiği görülmüştür. İdeal eğitim yönteminin tanımlanması için tekrarlayan meslek içi eğitimlerin, farklı yöntemler ile uygulanan eğitimlerin sonuçlarının karşılaştırıldığı çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Temel yaşam desteği, simülasyon, göğüs basısı, kardiyopulmoner canlandırma Introduction: The primary objective of the study was to assess the effects of training including visual and auditory feedback on the adequacy of resuscitation procedures. Methods: The study was conducted with 31 research associates of the department of pediatrics at the simulation center in Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine. The depth and the number of chest compression were recorded by receptors placed on the model during the two-minute resuscitation. One week after the initial assessment, 5-minute hands-on training including individual visual and auditory feedback was provided. Afterward, the efficacy of the training in reaching the desired goals was investigated by repeating the initial assessment. Results: In the study, a statistically insignificant increase from 4.44±0.9 to 4.67±0.9 could be obtained in the mean depth of compression after the training while the mean number of chest compression decreased from 123.8±20/min to 113.7±22/min after the training. The mean percentage of compression at the targeted rate increased from 27.9% to 53.6%. Conclusion: Individual training with visual and auditory feedback is effective in improving the quality of resuscitation. It has provided an increase in the compression rates at the targeted rate and depth. After the training, it was observed that the variability among the research associates in terms of the rate and depth of chest compressions still remained significant. In order to d...
