Introduction: CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) has an effective role in reducing mortality due to respiratory and cardiac arrest and in the case of timely and accurate implementation, it can significantly save lives. Therefore, teaching and learning CPR is one of the most BASIC and vital skills that a person must learn in life. During the past few years, CPR and first aid in the form of simple and BASIC education programs have been provided for the public around the world.Objective: The purpose of this paper was discussing the latest findings in CPR.Materials and Methods: This is a review article based on the translation of the instructions of CPR in American Heart Association in 2015, with an emphasis on CPR, as well as other library materials and articles written between 2010 and 2015.Results: unprofessional and professional revivalists play a vital role in restoring a person who has undergone CARDIOPULMONARY arrest, therefore, they must be trained in CPR operations in accordance with the latest guideline updates. These changes in 2015 adults’ BASIC life support measures and guidelines for RESUSCITATION include correction of the algorithm with the emphasis on comprehensive simplified algorithm, based on the recommendations of CPR performance by professional and unprofessional revivalists, the use of defibrillation in cardiac arrest by the public, CPR quality, and reduction of delays as much as possible.Discussion and Conclusion: Knowledge of CPR and its latest changes is obviously necessary to all professional and unprofessional revivalists.

BACKGROUNDAND OBJECTIVE: Several studies have shown that hospitals with trained and designated emergency personnel have improved survival performance and hospital discharge. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of trained team on improving the outcomes of CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) in Imam Khomeini hospital, Tehran, Iran.METHODS: This clinical trial study was performed on 87 patients as control group and 53 as intervention group. In control group, after announcing CPR code, routine team (a nurse, Intern and medical resident) performed CPR. In intervention group CPR team included two trained nurses and an emergency medicine resident that were present in emergency department A checklist was used to evaluate the performance and quality of CPR team that was prepared based on American heart association. Physiologic variables and patient condition was obtained from the file. Data was analyzed by parametric and non-parametric statistical methods and p<0.05 was considered significant.FINDINGS: The results showed that the mean age of resuscitated patients in control group was 58.1±19.6 that in comparison to second group (59.4±19.2), there was no significant difference. Also there was no significant difference in physiologic variables of patients before occurrence of cardiac arrest in two groups. However survival in males was more successful but this difference was not statistically significant There was a significant difference in survival after CPR, between control and intervention group (18.4% versus 30%, p<0.01 and also the mean of hours' survival 28 versus 88.44 hours, p<0.001).CONCLUSION: According to the results of this study, trained and designated emergency personnel have improved event and survival. So CPR team training and continuing education for all nurses and residents should be considered. CPR team should be aware of up to date knowledge of CPR in order to decrease the mortality rate.

With dramatic increasing number of sudden deaths from coronary artery diseases and the importance of time saving in those with cardiac arrest, public teaching about BASIC RESUSCITATION is a vital issue.So, to assess the impact of BASIC CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION training on knowledge and skill level of grade 3 high school students, a quasi-experimental study with 90 subjects of case and control groups was conducted.As the result we found statistically significant difference between scale mean of knowledge and skill in case and control groups after training (P=0.000) and the same result was shown between pre and post tests in case group (P=0.000) as a whole, 53.32% of the case group were able to do step by step CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION in a correct way.According to the results we suggest cooperation between ministries of health and education to provide rescue educational programs.

Background and Objectives CARDIOPULMONARY arrest is still one of the common causes of sudden death in many countries. This study investigated CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION success rates and the clinical and diagnostic demographic characteristics of patients undergoing CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION.Subjects and Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted to examine the records of all patients who experienced cardiac arrest and received CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) at Dr. Heshmat Rasht Hospital between April 2013 and March 2013. Data on patient demographics, comorbidities, factors during cardiac arrest, and CPR outcomes were collected for analysis.Results In this study, 77 cardiac patients undergoing CPR were included, of whom 61% were male. The average age of patients was 66.49 years with a standard deviation of 17.34 years. Hypertension and diabetes were prevalent among the patient population, affecting 35.8% and 32.1% of individuals, respectively. The majority of cardiac arrests occurred within the hospital setting between 6 AM and 12 AM. Cardiac infarction was identified as the primary cause of cardiac arrest in 41.6% of cases. Overall, the success rate of CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION was 14.3%.Conclusion The results of this study showed that identifying demographic, clinical, and diagnostic risk factors associated with CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) can facilitate the implementation of timely and appropriate interventions to improve patient outcomes.

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death in many societies (about 700,000 a year in Europe, and 330,000 in the United States and Canada of which 250,000 have occurred out of hospitals). Most victims of SCA demonstrate ventricular fibrillation (VF) at the first analysis of heart rhythm. CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) plus defibrillation within 3 to 5 minutes of collapse can produce survival rates as high as %49 to %75. The American Heart Association (AHA) established guidelines for RESUSCITATION in 1974 and has continued to revise CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) guidelines based on the latest findings. Updates to AHA guidelines are published approximately every 5 year, and are used as a basis for other major organization's RESUSCITATION training. The AHA published new guidelines for CPR and ECC in Nov., 2005. These guidelines were the product of rigorous documentation, analysis and evaluation of existing scientific literature related to emergency care by 380 international experts on RESUSCITATION convened by the International Liaison Committee on RESUSCITATION (ILCOR) over a 3-year period preceding the 2005 consensus conferences on CPR and ECC. The most significant changes in the new guidelines attempt to simplify CPR instruction, to increase the number of chest compressions delivered per minute and to reduce interruptions in chest compressions during CPR. This article reviews the newest recommendations for CPR in individuals at all age groups.

Purpose: Considering the importance of CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) in reducing the death and the need for people's knowledge and skills in BASIC RESUSCITATION in dangerous chemical industries, this innovative research with the aim of teaching CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION using the boot camp method with non-medical target group, chemical engineering students were implemented and evaluated in1401 Materials and methods: In this study, 73 chemical engineering students of Mahshahr University were randomly selected in 1401. First students' knowledge before the educational intervention has been evaluated. Then, with the help of a mannequin and an educational video, CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION was taught to these students and the knowledge, skills, and satisfaction of these students in order to properly perform BASIC RESUSCITATION one month after the educational intervention 4 of the students' left and 69 people were measured. Findings: the average pre-test score of students' knowledge was 2. 75±1. 387 and the average post-test score was 6. 13±1. 706 and this difference is statistically significant (𝑝 − 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 = 0. 001). After the intervention the students obtained a high average score in most of the skills and in the form of satisfaction from the boot camp, the highest percentage of frequency of good and excellent grades were chosen. Discussion: The results showed that boot camp method of CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION and practice in a stress-free environment it has increased the knowledge and skill of chemical engineering students in the field of CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION.
