Evaluation on the Results of Basic Life Support and Defibrillation Course in a University Hospital

Year 2010, Volume: 11 Issue: 3, 1 - 7, 16.12.2010

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: A basic life support and defibrillation course, attended by doctors and nurses, was organized in order to provide the skills of health professionals when witnessing cardiopulmonary arrest to initiate basic life support and resuscitation, if needed, until resuscitation team arrived. The aim of this study is to evaluate the attendants' level of providing skills, and to compare the profession groups (doctors and nurses) and those previously receivedCPRtraining or not. MATERIALS and METHODS: Concordant with the resuscitation guide of European Resuscitation Council published in 2005, in this basic life support and defibrillation course composed of theoretical lectures and practices sensory control, calling for aids, respiration and circulation control, thoracal compression, ventilation and defibrillation practices were performed.Attendants were evaluated for providing skills according to a form of 20 steps.Attendants' professions and histories of resuscitation course were recorded. RESULTS: Hundred and six people; 64 doctors and 27 nurses attended the course. Forty-one attendants (38.7%) performed all steps correctly in order. The correct performance rates of steps were 81.1% for sensory control, calling for aids, respiration and circulation control, 84% for thoracal decompression, 66% for ventilation and 73.6% for defibrillation. There was no difference between the success rates of doctors and nurses. Among the attendants, only 1.9% has a basic life support and defibrillation course in the last year and 33% had no resuscitation course. CONCLUSION: The success of attendants was adequate in the post-course evaluation. The low rate of attending a basic life support course in the last year shows the lack of training on resuscitation training among the healthcare personnel in our hospital.We think that hospital management should provide a continuing education with training equipment and organization support.

ÜNİVERSİTE HASTANESİNDE TEMEL YAŞAM DESTEĞİ VE DEFİBRİLASYON KURSU SONUÇLARININ DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Year 2010, Volume: 11 Issue: 3, 1 - 7, 16.12.2010

Abstract

AMAÇ:Hastanemizde kardiyopulmoner arreste tanık olan sağlık personelinin, resüsitasyon ekibi gelinceyekadar, temel yaşam desteğine başlaması ve gerekiyorsa defibrilasyonu yapabilme becerisini kazandırmakamacıyla öncelikle doktorların, hemşirelerin katıldığı, temel yaşam desteği ve defibrilasyon kursu yapıldı. Buaraştırmanın amacı kursa katılanların beceri kazanma düzeyleri değerlendirmek, önceden KPR eğitimi alanlarlaalmayanlar arasında ve meslek grupları (doktorlar ile hemşireler) arasında fark olup olmadığını araştırmaktır.GEREÇ ve YÖNTEM:Avrupa Resüsitasyon Konseyinin 2005 yılında yayınladığı resüsitasyon kılavuzunauygun olarak teorik ders ve pratik uygulamalardan oluşan temel yaşam desteği ve defibrilasyon kursunda bilinçkontrolü, yardım çağırma, solunum ve dolaşımın kontrolü; göğüs kompresyonu; ventilasyon ve defibrilasyonuygulamaları yapıldı. Kursun sonunda katılımcıların beceri kazanımları 20 basamaktan oluşan forma göredeğerlendirildi. Katılımcıların daha önceden resüsitasyon kursu alıp almadıkları ve meslekleri kayıt edildi.BULGULAR:Kursa 64'ü doktor, 27'si hemşire toplam 106 kişi katıldı. Kırkbir katılımcı (% 38,7) tümbasamakların doğru ve sırasında yaptı. Katılımcıların % 81,1'i bilinç kontrolü, yardım çağırma, solunum vedolaşımın kontrolü, % 84'ü göğüs kompresyonu, % 66'sı ventilasyon, % 73,6 defibrilasyon grubundakibasamakları doğru olarak yaptı. Doktorların ve hemşirelerin başarı oranları arasında anlamlı fark bulunmadı.Kursa katılanların % 1,9'u son bir yıl içinde temel yaşam desteği ve defibrilasyon kursuna katılmıştı, % 33'ü hiçresüsitasyon kursuna katılmamıştı.SONUÇ:Temel yaşam desteği ve defibrilasyon kurslarından sonra yapılan değerlendirmede, katılımcılarınbaşarısı yeterli bulundu. Katılımcılar arasında son bir içinde temel yaşam desteği kursuna katılanları oranının çokdüşük olması, hastanemizdeki sağlık personelinin kardiyopulmoner resüsitasyon eğitimindeki eksikliğiniyansıtmaktadır. Hastane yönetiminin eğitim materyali ve organizasyon desteği ile eğitimin süreklililiğininsağlanmasının gerekli olduğunu düşünüyoruz
