“…[5] The greatest challenge for successful out of-hospital resuscitation is CPR education. [1,5,6] The consensus conference of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation and different experiences, recommended further development of education and training programs for the population. [7,8] Specifically, it is vital to teaching these techniques from an early age, in primary and especially in high school, according to Pekins et al and Cheng et al [8,9] In a study by Jones et al, [10] only 13 to 14-year-olds performed chest compression as well as adults in other reported studies.…”

There is an urgent need for generalized training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques, starting with secondary education. Validated instruments for assessing the efficacy of such interventions are not yet available. This study aimed to validate an evaluation questionnaire of a CPR training program for high school students, to analyze the levels of readability, difficulty, reliability, and content validity, as well as the fit the purpose for which they were designed, the trait they are intended to measure. An instrumental study was conducted in 2 phases. In the first phase, an inter-judge validation was carried out with 11 experts in CPR accredited instructors of basic and advanced CPR by the American Heart Association. In the second phase, the psychometric properties were evaluated from the perspective of Item Response Theory. During May of the 2017/18 and 2018/19 academic years, 259 4th-year secondary school students from a high school in the southeastern area of the island of Gran Canaria (mean age: 15.78 years; 50.60% male) were surveyed anonymously using the questionnaire to be validated. The questionnaire was easily readable (74.12 Flesch-Szigriszt Index); the difficulty level (Easy/Very Easy) in the context of this secondary school level of education and the ability level of the respondents overlapped sufficiently and there was no gender bias. The questionnaire was able to discriminate between respondents of slightly more than 7 levels of expertise, from low knowledge of CPR to high knowledge of CPR (Separation Index 7.53). The model fit was excellent (infit = 1/outfit = 1.01). The content validity index was adequate. The separation index and reliability exceeded what was considered adequate for guaranteed use. The level of difficulty of the items and the level of ability of the respondents is in line with the educational level of the students. The questionnaire did not produce a gender bias in response probability. The questionnaire is easily understandable and can discriminate between different levels of ability without differential gender bias, and its reliability is outstanding, as it exceeds the minimum criteria.

“…Since 70–85% OHCA cases occur at home and 15–25% in public spaces [6], programs that train the lay population in CPR remain crucial. Studies have demonstrated that community education and quality improvement programs to increase bystander and first-responder intervention, including CPR and defibrillation, and access to automatic external defibrillator (AED) are associated with improved outcomes, including survival [7,8,9].…”

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) mortality remains high. The best survival rates are achieved when trained people provide OHCA victims with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR); however, it is estimated that only 25% of victims receive CPR. This community health study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a training programme in basic CPR and in the use of an automatic external defibrillator (AED) on knowledge and skills for lay people, and its social impact. The training courses were based on Catalan Council of Resuscitation guidelines. Data were collected on sociodemographic characteristics, evaluation of knowledge and practical skills at baseline and at the end of the training courses, and also on the social impact of the programme. A total of 36 training courses with 482 participants were carried out, and most participants achieved a qualification of suitable. The mean score in knowledge was 3.1 ± 1.1 at baseline and 3.8 ± 1.2 (p = 0.001) at the end of the programme. Participants rated the training courses as very satisfactory, considered the training useful, and felt more qualified to respond to an emergency. This study shows that a high percentage of participants acquired skills in basic CPR and use of an AED, which confirms the usefulness and effectiveness of training courses and its important social impact.

“…Any social group can receive CPR training. Since 70–85% of OHCA occur at home and 15–25% in public spaces, it is crucial to train the largest number of people [7] in CPR manoeuvres and AED use. The training plan should target two main population groups: a) Relatives who are close to patients at high risk of OHCA, since their probability of witnessing an OHCA is 66–75% [7]; and b) CPR training in schools (training of teachers who will subsequently train pupils).…”

Effectiveness of a network of automatically activated trained volunteers on the reduction of cardiopulmonary resuscitation manoueuvers initiation time: study protocol

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Cardiorespiratory arrest (CRA) is a health emergency with high mortality. Mortality depends on time of initiation and quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) manoeuvres and the use of the automated external defibrillator (AED). Methods The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of an automatically activated network of volunteers using smartwatch and smartphone applications on the reduction of time of initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation manoeuvres. The protocol will be developed in four phases: 1) validation of an application (App) for smartwatch that automatically generates a health alert in case of out-of-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest (OHCA); 2) training course for laypersons on CPR manoeuvres and AED use; 3) creation of a network of volunteers trained in CPR and AED use that covers our city; and 4) simulation in which the network of volunteers is automatically activated via smartphone to attend simulated OHCAs. A total of 134 health alerts will be generated; on 67 occasions the alert will be directed to the emergency health services and to the network of trained volunteers (Intervention Group) and on 67 occasions the alert will be solely directed to the emergency health services (Control Group). The arrival time of the first rescuer, category of first rescuer (emergency services versus network of volunteers), initiation time of manoeuvres and competence will be recorded. Discussion CPR training for laypersons is advised, especially for relatives and people close to patients with heart disease, to reduce time of initiation of CPR and to improve OHCA survival rates. This study aims to verify that the initiation time of CPR manoeuvres and AED use is shorter in the intervention than in the control group. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov ID NCT03828305 . Trial registered on February 1, 2019 (retrospective register).
