Make Basic Life Support Basic: A novel virtual Hands Only CPR training program in minority school age youth

Abstract

Although 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) events 13 occur annually in the U.S. with rates of survival to hospital discharge 14 of <10%, 1,2 survival is even lower for residents in Black communi-15 ties. 3 A significant contributor to this disparity is lower rates of 16 bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) 4 due to lower CPR 17 training rates in non-White communities. 5 In response, many states 18 have enacted legislation to provide school-based CPR training to 19 promote universal CPR competence. However, the COVID-19 pan-20 demic has limited in-person education. We piloted a virtual CPR 21 training program for high school students of predominantly non-22 White race during the pandemic and examined whether this 23 approach could be effective in building knowledge and confidence 24 in delivering bystander CPR.

Proceedings of the Second Curing Coma Campaign NIH Symposium: Challenging the Future of Research for Coma and Disorders of Consciousness

“…He also highlighted the importance of care provider role across the care spectrum, starting with bystanders who performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to the emergency department and intensive care unit (ICU) teams who did not give up on him despite his prolonged coma and the rehabilitation team that helped him achieve his independence. Recognizing that his survival may not have been possible without the help of bystanders who performed CPR, he founded "Make BLS Basic, " an organization focused on training the general public in basic life support including handsonly CPR training through community events and educational forums [19].…”

Pelatihan Pengenalan dan Penanganan Kegawatdaruratan Henti Jantung di Luar Rumah Sakit pada Karang Taruna

“…Kondisi gawat darurat merupakan keadaan yang mengancam nyawa, dan bila tidak segera ditangani dapat menyebabkan kematian (Chen et al, 2015;Wirawan & Arsa, 2020). Pasien dengan henti jantung ini harus segera mendapat pertolongan dengan Basic Life Support/ Bantuan Hidup Dasar, penelitian di Eropa mengamati bahwa resusitasi jantung paru (RJP) dapat meningkatkan kelangsungan hidup di rumah sakit (Mauri et al, 2016;Uzendu et al, 2021). Tindakan ini dapat diberikan oleh tenaga kesehatan maupun orang awam, sehingga keterampilan Basic Life Support ini dapat diajarkan kepada siapa saja tidak hanya kepada tenaga kesehatan namun termasuk kepada masyarakat umum agar terbentuk bystander yang dapat bersedia dan mampu memberikan tindakan RJP (Yasin et al, 2019;Yunanto et al, 2017), salah satunya anggota karang taruna.…”
