“…[29][30][31] Moreover, the optimal duration of feedback device use is unknown. [32][33][34] The aim of this study is to determine whether the use of a CPR feedback device improves laypersons' CPR quality after the completion of a training course and, secondarily, to determine whether final quality is related to how long the feedback device is used in training.…”

Objective: The chances of surviving an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest depend on early and high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Our aim is to verify whether the use of feedback devices during laypersons' CPR training improves chest compression quality. Methods: Laypersons totalling 450 participating in Basic Life Support and Automated External Defibrillation (BLS/ AED) courses were randomly divided into three groups: group No Feedback (NF) attended a course without any feedback, group Short Feedback (SF) a course with 1-minute training with real-time visual feedback, and group Long Feedback (LF) a course with 10-minute training with real-time visual feedback. At the end of each course, we recorded 1 minute of compression-only CPR. The primary end point was the difference in the percentage of compressions performed with correct depth. Results: There was a significant improvement in the percentage of compressions with correct depth in the groups receiving feedback compared to the other (NF v. LF, p = 0.022; NF v. SF, p = 0.005). This improvement was also present in the percentage of compressions with a complete chest recoil (71.7% in NF, 86.6% in SF, and 88.8% in LF; p < 0.001), compressions with the correct hand position (93.2% in NF, 98.2% in SF, and 99.3% in LF; p < 0.001), and in the Total CPR Score (79.4% in NF, 90.2% in SF, and 92.5% in LF; p < 0.001). There were no significant differences for all of the parameters between group SF and group LF. Conclusions: Real-time visual feedback improves laypersons' CPR quality, and we suggest its use in every BLS/AED course for laypersons because it can help achieve the goals emphasized by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation recommendations. RÉSUMÉObjectif: Les chances de survie à la suite d'un arrêt cardiaque survenu dans la collectivité dépend de la rapidité des manoeuvres de réanimation cardiorespiratoire (RCR) ainsi que de leur qualité. L'étude décrite ici visait à vérifier si l'utilisation de dispositifs de rétroaction durant la formation des profanes en la matière pouvait améliorer la qualité des compressions thoraciques. Méthode: Ont participé à des cours de réanimation de base et de défibrillation 450 profanes en la matière, divisés au hasard en trois groupes : le premier a suivi le cours sans rétroaction (SR) aucune; le deuxième a suivi le cours avec une brève rétroaction (BR), soit 1 minute de formation avec une rétroaction visuelle en temps réel; et le troisième a suivi le cours avec une longue rétroaction (LR), soit 10 minutes de formation avec une rétroaction visuelle en temps réel. À la fin de chacun des cours, il y a eu enregistrement des compressions seules durant 1 min. Le principal critère d'évaluation était les différences de pourcentage quant aux compressions réalisées à la bonne profondeur. Résultats: Une amélioration sensible du pourcentage des compressions réalisées à la bonne profondeur a été observée dans les groupes dans lesquels il y avait eu de la rétroaction comparativement à celui qui n'en avait pas reç...

The International First Aid Science Advisory Board identified 38 questions in first aid practice that had not been subjected to an evidence review process or that needed to be updated since the 2005 process. Two or more members of the International First Aid Science Advisory Board volunteered to independently review the scientific literature and complete an evidence-based review worksheet summarizing the literature (see Part 2 of this supplement for additional information). After the evidence was presented to the full board, a draft consensus summary of the scientific evidence and a draft consensus treatment recommendation were developed and represented at a subsequent meeting. Thus, each question, evidence-based review, draft summary of science, and draft treatment recommendation was presented and discussed on 2 separate occasions, and a Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendation was reached by the Board. This document is a report of the group's consensus.As in 2005, the worksheets revealed the continuing paucity of scientific evidence to support specific first aid interventions. Very little research is being conducted in first aid, and most of the recommendations are extrapolations from research and experience in other medical venues, animal studies, and case series. It is hoped that this document will be a stimulus to future research in first aid. First Aid for Medical Emergencies SummaryThe medical questions addressed include poisoning, anaphylaxis, oxygen administration, and aspirin administration for a suspected coronary event.No changes were recommended for first aid management of acute poisoning.In reviewing epinephrine administration for anaphylaxis, evidence was found that laypeople and some medical and prehospital professionals are unable to recognize the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis and therefore cannot, without training, make an independent decision to administer epinephrine with an auto-injector or to administer a second dose if the first is not effective. This issue takes on added importance in view of legislation in some jurisdictions that permits these actions.No evidence was found, except in decompression injuries, to support the routine administration of oxygen by first aid providers.The administration of aspirin to a victim experiencing chest discomfort is problematic. The literature is clear on the benefit of early administration of aspirin in an acute coronary event, except when there is a clear contraindication, such as aspirin allergy or a bleeding disorder. Less clear, however, is whether first aid providers can recognize the signs and symptoms of an acute Consensus on ScienceThere are no human studies on the effect of treating oral caustic exposure with dilution therapy. One in vitro LOE 5 chemistry study 2 demonstrated no benefit from the addition of large volumes of diluent to either a strong base or a strong acid. Five LOE 5 animal studies 3-7 demonstrated histological benefit to the esophagus when a diluent was administered following exposure to an alkali or acid. Treat...
