“…Cardiopulmonary emergencies and arrest are frequent life-threatening emergencies, and emergency interventions performed in the first minutes are very important for the patient in terms of life and death (Long, Koyfman & Gottlieb, 2019;Skoczyński, Wizowska, Pochciał, Leśkiewicz & Zyśko, 2020). Also, though the frequency has decreased with developments in the health care system, paramedics often encounter with emergency labor especially in rural areas (Vilalta & Troeger, 2020).…”

Professional self-competence and self-efficacy of paramedics who first interfere to emergency events are important. An important ratio of deaths in emergency intervention are due to emergencies that require cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and also emergency labor is frequently seen in rural areas. In this research, CPR and labor simulation training's effect on professional self-competence and relevance of self-efficacy in paramedic students has been investigated. The pre-test and post-test experimental research was carried out with 68 pregraduate paramedic students. Following the pre-questionnaire, all students were given simulation training about CPR and labor, and students were evaluated two times with a weak interval by making one-to-one simulation applications. Afterwards a post-questionnaire was applied, Sherer's General Self-Efficacy Scale (SGSES) was used to determine self-efficacy levels. Professional self-competence perception level and evaluation scores of the students increased significantly in pre and post-questionnaire comparison. The statistically significant difference between professional self-competence perception and graduated high-school in pre-questionnaire was not obtained in post-questionnaire. While SGSES scores were higher in the students who felt more professional self-competence, SGSES scores and professional self-competence scores did not statistically differ among pre and post-questionnaires. Simulation trainings in the education process of paramedic students has significant impact on professional self-competence.

“…Chest pain is one of the most frequent symptoms in patients seeking treatment in primary care and the emergency department (ED). [ 1 ] It accounts for up to 6% of attendances to the ED and 20% of emergency admissions to hospital. [ 2 , 3 ] The development and introduction of a standardised approach in the management of these patients through risk assessment scores has improved the time to diagnosis and reduced hospital admissions alongside mortality and morbidity.…”

Chest Pain in the Cancer Patient

Chest pain is one of the most common presenting symptoms in patients seeking care from a physician. Risk assessment tools and scores have facilitated prompt diagnosis and optimal management in these patients; however, it is unclear as to whether a standardised approach can adequately triage chest pain in cancer patients and survivors. This is of concern because cancer patients are often at an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity given the shared risk factors between cancer and cardiovascular disease, compounded by the fact that certain anti-cancer therapies are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events that can persist for weeks and even years after treatment. This article describes the underlying mechanisms of the most common causes of chest pain in cancer patients with an emphasis on how their management may differ to that of non-cancer patients with chest pain. It will also highlight the role of the cardio-oncology team, who can aid in identifying cancer therapy-related cardiovascular side-effects and provide optimal multidisciplinary care for these patients.
