Worldviews on Evidence-Based Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Using a Novel Method

Abstract

The evaluation of scientific content by researchers, as well as the knowledge networks and working groups of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, can help to improve and expand new scientific evidence in this field. The aim of this study was to identify the global scientific publications on cardiopulmonary resuscitation research using a novel method. The method used was based on obtaining bibliographic data automatically from scientific publications through the use of the Scopus Database API Interface. A total of 17,917 results were obtained, with a total of 60,226 reports and 53,634 authors. Six categories were detected with 38.56% corresponding to cardiac arrest, 21.8% to cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 17.16% to life-support training and education, 12.45% to ethics and decision-making in cardiac arrest, 4.77% to therapeutic treatment, and 3.72% to life-support techniques. Analyzing and identifying the main scientific contributions to this field of study can make it possible to establish collaboration networks and propose new lines of research, as well as to unify criteria for action. Future research should delve into the analyses of the other elements involved in this area.

“…Consequently, their level of knowledge and confidence for the performance BLS is low. 8,9 Although the body of scientific evidence on cardiopulmonary resuscitation is growing every year, 10 it is necessary to continue expanding research into elements that can improve the process. LEA can be a potentially powerful mechanism to improve survival, therefore it is relevant to know the barriers and opportunities to act effectively and safely as first responders.…”
