“…CPR training is a major part of medical courses, but the most effective method of training is still unclear and depends on trainees' groups and previous theoretical knowledge of CPR among them. Although the importance of BLS, studies has shown that these skills are not acquired sufficiently6 . Acquisition of BLS skills can be difficult.…”

Introduction: Basic life support (BLS), is the chain of survival and decreases the rate of cardiac arrest; health care professionals should know at least how to perform BLS individually as they may encounter such emergency very often. In the developed world, sudden cardiac death represents the single largest cause of natural death accounting for 12–18% of total mortality and 50% of cardiac mortality. Objectives: To determine the level of awareness regarding Basic Life Support and knowledge of involved skills and its practice among medical and non-medical personnel. Methodology: A retrospective study conducted by using valid questionnaire regarding Basic Life Support by 323 personnel. The results were analyzed with SPSS version 16. Results: Twenty-five questions were used to assess the level of knowledge/awareness and skills after BLS training. The percentage of correct answer varied from 33.1% to 95.7% for knowledge related items; and for skills items, it was varied from 35.3% to 68.4%. Conclusion: We recommend that Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation/Basic Life Support should be a basic skill across all medical and non-medical personnel. Key words: Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, Basic Life Support, KAP.

Non-Enhanced CT Mimicking Contrast Enhanced CT - A Case Report on Polycythemia

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Diffuse hyperdense cerebral vasculature is sometimes encountered on non-enhanced computed tomography, and polycythemia is one of the conditions which appears the same. The current case report is of a case of 37-year-old female patient arrived with a complaint of feeling severe headache for the past 3 days which was insidious in onset, diffuse in nature and it did not respond to any medication. NECT brain study showed the hyperdense circle of Willis and cerebral venous sinuses. Contrast was not administered for computed tomography study of the brain. On blood investigations, the patient had raised hematocrit level (74%). The hyperdense vessel was due to raised hematocrit (Polycythemia Vera).
