The aim of this paper is to evaluate the awareness of ordinary people about relief operations and accurate cardiopulmonary resuscitation when facing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
This was a cross-sectional study including 500 ordinary people who were randomly selected over a 3-month period in Ahvaz County, Ahvaz, Iran, and then asked to perform resuscitation operation on medical moulages. Their performance was then evaluated using a 21-item checklist.
The awareness of participants about relief operations were only acceptable in 9 cases. Only 1 (0.2%) of them was able to detect a pulse and blood circulation as well as to relieve any airway obstruction. 7 (1.4%) were able to correctly find the position on the chest where external cardiac massage (ECM) should be performed. And only 1 could perform ECM at a rate of 100-120 compressions/min.
Results obtained from the present study does not confirm the awareness of ordinary people when encountering OHCA. Hence, it is essential to hold related training courses at appropriate intervals to improve their skills and knowledge.
本文旨在评估普通民众在面对院外心脏骤停时对救援操作及准确心肺复苏的认知情况。
这是一项横断面研究,在伊朗阿瓦士的阿瓦士县,于3个月期间随机选取500名普通民众,然后要求他们对医学模拟人进行复苏操作。随后使用一份包含21个条目的检查表对他们的操作进行评估。
参与者中仅有9例对救援操作的认知情况尚可。其中只有1人(0.2%)能够检测到脉搏和血液循环,并解除任何气道阻塞。7人(1.4%)能够正确找到胸部进行胸外心脏按压(ECM)的位置。并且只有1人能够以每分钟100 - 120次按压的速率进行胸外心脏按压。
本研究获得的结果并未证实普通民众在遇到院外心脏骤停时具备相应认知。因此,定期举办相关培训课程以提高他们的技能和知识至关重要。
