The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation—Review of the last 25 years and vision for the future

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

2017 marks the 25th anniversary of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). ILCOR was formed in 1992 to create a forum for collaboration among principal resuscitation councils worldwide. Since then, ILCOR has established and distinguished itself for its pioneering vision and leadership in resuscitation science. By systematically assessing the evidence for resuscitation standards and guidelines and by identifying national and regional differences, ILCOR reached consensus on international resuscitation guidelines in 2000, and on international science and treatment recommendations in 2005, 2010 and 2015. However, local variation and contextualization of guidelines are evident by subtle differences in regional and national resuscitation guidelines. ILCOR's efforts to date have enhanced international cooperation, and progressively more transparent and systematic collection and analysis of pertinent scientific evidence. Going forward, this sets the stage for ILCOR to pursue its vision to save more lives globally through resuscitation.

Drug administration via the endotracheal tube is recommended as a second-line approach in emergency settings such as cardiac arrest. It is unknown what amount of drugs are absorbed when they are given through the laryngeal mask airway as compared with the endotracheal tube. We administered lidocaine at a dose of 2 mg/kg diluted in 10 mL normal saline to 20 anesthetized patients undergoing routine surgical procedures. Ten patients received lidocaine into the endotracheal tube and 10 patients received lidocaine into the laryngeal mask airway. Blood samples were taken for measurement of lidocaine plasma concentrations, and the pharmacokinetics were calculated. Therapeutic plasma concentrations (>1.4 microg/mL) could be achieved in 10 of 10 patients after endotracheal tube instillation but in only 4 of 10 patients after laryngeal mask instillation (P < 0.05). Peak lidocaine concentrations (2.47 and 1.09 microg/mL) (P < 0.05) and the area under the time versus plasma concentration curve (117.7 and 91.2 microg x min x mL(-1)) (P < 0.05) were higher after lidocaine administration into the endotracheal tube than into the laryngeal mask airway. In conclusion, the laryngeal mask airway is not a reliable route for the recommended dose of endobronchial lidocaine administration compared with the endotracheal tube.

Nurses’ role in the early defibrillation of cardiac patients: Implications for nursing in Hong Kong

The time taken to initiate early defibrillation is crucial to improve survival, prevent neurological deficit and improve the quality of life of patients suffering from sudden cardiac arrest. Despite the extension of training and the authorization of nurses to perform early defibrillation (advocated by the American Heart Association), such practice has not been widely adopted in hospitals. Inadequate knowledge, lack of skill retention, insufficient organizational support and the passive culture of nurses are barriers preventing the move towards nurse-led defibrillation. This paper discusses the need to extend the registered nurses' role in the early defibrillation of cardiac patients in Hong Kong. Current nursing practice in emergency resuscitation care and the hurdles constraining early defibrillation will be discussed. Recommendations to facilitate the future development of nurse-led defibrillation will also be provided. The successful extension of the registered nurses' role in early defibrillation will enable them to possess broader knowledge to be clinically competent in providing efficient patient care.
