“…In the studies by Şener et al (2006) and Uzun et al (2012), the success rate was found to be higher among ED residences when compared to other departments. 8,9 Our study also found higher standard of knowledge about CPR among ED clinicians. As ED clinicians are among those who are most commonly encountered to cardiac arrest, their theoretical knowledge about CPR is updated frequently.…”

Materials and Methods: The study conducted on residences and subspecialty residences who accepted to participate and complete the survey. Overall 303 clinicians who accepted to participate and were accessible for completion of survey were recruited to the study. The survey included 2 sections. The first section included data regarding demographic characteristics and the second part included 20 multiple-choice items with one correct answer prepared based on 2010 American Heart Association Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care.. Results: Age, total duration of medical practice and residency positively affected standard of knowledge. Higher number of cardiopulmonary resuscitation performed within prior 6 months and defibrillation performance during cardiopulmonary resuscitation positively affected standard of knowledge. Postgraduate theoretical and practical training positively affect standard of knowledge. Conclusion: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation trainings aiming clinicians should be standardized and updated as well as education during employment should be scheduled to provide access to such programs. Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Erciyes Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastaneleri`nde görevli doktorların güncel kılavuzlara göre erişkin kardiyopulmoner resüsitasyon konusundaki bilgi düzeylerinin ve bunu etkileyen faktörlerin araştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma anket doldurmayı kabul eden asistan hekimler arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmamıza, kliniklerinde ulaşılabilen ve araştırmaya katılmaya rıza gösteren toplam 303 doktor dâhil edilmiştir. Veri toplama formları iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. Anketin ilk bölümünde demografik veriler ve ikinci bölüm seçeneklerinden sadece bir tanesi doğru olan, çoktan seçmeli, Amerikan Kalp Derneği'nin Kardiyopulmoner Resüsitasyon ve Acil Kardiyovasküler Bakım 2010 Kılavuzu temel alınarak hazırlanan 20 adet sorudan oluşturulmuştur. Bulgular: Hekimlerin yaşları, toplam hekimlik ve toplam asistanlık süreleri bilgi düzeyini olumlu etkilemektedir. Son altı ay içerisinde uyguladıkları kardiyopulmoner resüsitasyon sayısının fazla olması ve kardiyopulmoner resüsitasyon esnasında defibrilasyon yapmış olmaları bilgi düzeylerini olumlu etkilemektedir. Mezuniyet sonrası dönemde alınan eğitimler hekimlerin bilgi düzeyini anlamlı olarak artırmıştır. Sonuç: Hekimlere yönelik kardiyopulmoner resüsitasyon eğitim programları standardize edilmeli, güncellenmeli ve çalışanlara bu programların ulaştırılabilmesi için hizmet içi kurslar düzenlenmelidir.

“…Wheatley et al (14) showed that physicians who had attended a formal training program had higher percentages of correct answers compared with other groups. Kiyan et al (15) demonstrated that there was a positive correlation between the level of theoretic knowledge and clinical application on CPR. Filgueiras Filho et al (16) concluded that theoretical knowledge on CPR was higher among physicians who had attendedthe ACLS course and cardiologists showeda higher theoretical knowledge on the care of patients who had cardiac arrest compared to other physicians in the fields of internal medicine, surgery, and orthopedics.…”

The knowledge and experience of cardiopulmonary resuscitation among cardiologists in clinical practice. A multicenter cross-sectional study

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the theoretical knowledge and clinical experience of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) among Turkish cardiologists according to the recommendations of the 2015 European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines. Methods: A total of 120 cardiologists from 14 different medical centers (six university and eight research-education hospitals) in İstanbul were included in the study. The questionnaire consisting of 29 open-ended and multiple choice questions on CPR was used and validated based on the ERC guidelines published in 2015. The percentage of correct answers was calculated for each participant. Results: Of the 120 cardiologists included in this study, 108 (90%) accepted the participation, and the median percentage of correct answers for theoretical questions was 53% (38-72). The percentage of correct answers for interventional cardiologists (48%, n=52) was significantly higher [60% (50–66) vs. 46% (38-52), p<0.001]. Regarding the type of medical centers, no statictical difference was found in terms of theoretical knowledge on CPR [57% (50-72) university hospitals vs. 49% (41-57) research-education hospitals, p=0.160). Peri-arrest transthoracic echocardiography was used in 71% of cases. The ratio of participants who had received an advanced cardiac life support course in the preceding year was only 19% (n=20), and those participants had a significantly higher score regarding the CPR theoretical knowledge questions [68% (54-70) vs. 46% (38-51), p<0.001]. Conclusion: The theoretical knowledge of cardiologists on CPR is not satisfactory according to the 2015 ERC guidelines. An increased frequency of CPR training courses may improve this result.

“…Medical literature presents discordant results, with some of the studies indicating a positive correlation between theoretical knowledge of the CPR guidelines and attendance of resuscitation training courses, whereas in others there was no correlation at all. In a study concerning residents in a Turkish university hospital, there was a positive correlation between postgraduate ACLS training and resuscitation knowledge [9]. A significant limitation in this study is that, even though this study was performed in one of the largest hospitals in the country, it represents the data of a specific hospital only.…”

The objective of this paper was to assess the resuscitation training and knowledge status of medical and surgical residents (SRs). A questionnaire of 23 questions was answered by medical and SRs in an Athens General Hospital. The questionnaire was designed based on the 2005 resuscitation guidelines. The questionnaire was answered by 137 residents (53.3% medical and 46.7% surgical). With regard to the knowledge questions, the mean score, on a maximum scale of 10, was 5.39±1.93 for the medical residents and 5.27±2.33 for the SRs. Their resuscitation knowledge was positively influenced by their attendance of Basic Life Support (P=0.005) and Advanced Life Support/Advanced Cardiac Life Support courses (P=0.013). Residents in this tertiary general hospital in Athens had inadequate knowledge of resuscitation guidelines and the majority of them were not currently certified in any of these courses.
