Use of a Checklist During Observation of a Simulated Cardiac Arrest Scenario Does Not Improve Time to CPR and Defibrillation Over Observation Alone for Subsequent Scenarios

Theory: Immersive simulation is a common mode of education for medical students. Observation of clinical simulations prior to participation is believed to be beneficial, though this is often a passive process. Active observation may be more beneficial. Hypotheses: The hypothesis tested in this study was that the active use of a simple checklist during observation of an immersive simulation would result in better participant performance in a subsequent scenario compared with passive observation alone. Methods: Medical students were randomized to either passive or active (with checklist) observation of an immersive simulation involving cardiac arrest prior to participating in their own simulation. Performance measures included time to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and time to defibrillation and were compared between first and second scenarios as well as between passive and active observers. Results: Seventy-nine simulations involving 232 students were conducted. Mean time to CPR was 18 seconds (SD = 11.6) for those using the checklist and 24 seconds (SD = 15.8) for those who observed passively (M difference = 6 seconds), t(35) = 1.46, p =.153. Time to defibrillation was 94 seconds (SD = 26.4) for those using the checklist and 92 seconds (SD = 23.8) for those who observed passively (M difference = –2 seconds), t(38) =.21, p =.837. Time to CPR was 24 seconds (SD = 15.8) for passive observers and 31 seconds (SD = 21.0; M difference = 7 seconds), t(35) = 1.13, p =.265, for their first scenario counterparts. Time to CPR was 18 seconds (SD = 11.6) for active observers and 36 seconds (SD = 26.2; M difference = 18 seconds), t(24) = 2.81, p =.010, for their first scenario counterparts. Time to defibrillation was 92 seconds (SD = 23.8) for passive observers and 125 seconds (SD = 32.2; M difference = 33 seconds), t(33) = 3.63, p =.001, for their first scenario counterparts. Time to defibrillation was 94 seconds (SD = 26.4) for the active observers and 132 seconds (SD = 52.9; M difference = 38 seconds), t(28) =.46, p =.008, for their first scenario counterparts. Conclusions: Observation alone leads to improved performance in the management of a simulated cardiac arrest. The active use of a simple skills-based checklist during observation did not appear to improve performance over passive observation alone.     

Impact of bystander-performed ventilation on functional outcomes after cardiac arrest and factors associated with ventilation-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A large observational study

AimTo determine the effectiveness of ventilations in bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (BCPR) and to identify the factors associated with ventilation-only BCPR.MethodsFrom out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) data prospectively collected from 2005 to 2011 in Japan, we extracted data for 210,134 bystander-witnessed OHCAs with complete datasets but no prehospital involvement of physician [no BCPR, 115,733; ventilation-only, 2093; compression-only, 61,075; and conventional (compressions+ventilations) BCPR, 31,233] and determined the factors associated with 1-month neurologically favourable survival using simple and multivariable logistic regression analyses. In 91,885 patients with known BCPR durations, we determined the factors associated with ventilation-only BCPR.ResultsThe rate of survival in the no BCPR, ventilation-only, compression-only and conventional group was 2.8%, 3.9%, 4.5% and 5.0%, respectively. After adjustment for other factors associated with outcomes, the survival rate in the ventilation-only group was higher than that in the no BCPR group (adjusted OR; 95% CI, 1.29; 1.01–1.63), but lower than that in the compression-only (0.76; 0.59–0.96) or conventional groups (0.70; 0.55–0.89). Conventional CPR had the highest OR for survival in almost all OHCA subgroups. The adjusted OR (95% CI) for survival after dividing BCPR into ventilation and compression components was 1.19 (1.11–1.27) and 1.60 (1.51–1.69), respectively. Older guidelines, female sex, younger patient age, bystander-initiated CPR without instruction, early BCPR and short BCPR duration were associated with ventilation-only BCPR.ConclusionsVentilation is a significant component of BCPR, but alone is less effective than compression in improving neurologically favourable survival after OHCAs.

未控制出血性休克与TNF—a的关联性及不同液体复苏的作用

目的 研究未控制出血性休克时不同液体复苏的作用以及，INF—a的变化规律，以期阐明限制性液体复苏降低未控制出血性休克的死亡率和改善预后的相关机制。方法采用改良后的Krausz方法建立重度脾创伤未控制出血性休克大鼠模型。采用随机分组的原则将大鼠分为假处理组、限制输液组、常规输液组、不输液组。观察各组动物的出血量、输液量、存活率、存活时间及各时间点的血压、血细胞比容（Hct）和TNF—a的变化情况。结果①限制输液组的输液量明显少于常规输液组（P〈0．05），出血量也明显少于常规输液组（P〈0．05）。②限制输液组Hct明显高于常规输液组（P〈0．05）。②限制输液组的存活时间比常规输液组及不输液组明显延长（P均〈0．05）。限制输液组在72h内的存活率明显高于常规输液组和不输液组。但低于假处理组（P均〈0．1）。④除假处理组外其余各组在伤后90min和180min血TNF—a水平均较伤前均有明显升高（P均〈0．05）；常规输液组，TNF—a水平明显高于限制输液组（P〈0．05）。⑤死亡者TNF—a水平明显高于生存者。结论本研究结果表明，在重度未控制出血条件下，限制性液体复苏可明显降低出血量，提高存活率。未控制性出血休克时的TNF—a水平与预后密切相关，TNF—a高预后不良，而限制性液体复苏时TNF—a水平明显降低。

CD14+单核细胞人类白细胞抗原DR表达率与脓毒症关系的研究

目的了解烧伤延迟复苏时CDl4^＋单核细胞人类白细胞抗原DR（HLA—DR）表达率的变化，分析其与脓毒症的关系。方法选择烧伤面积大于30％TBSA的25例烧伤延迟复苏患者，于伤后1、3、7、14、28d取外周血，其中7例患者住院期间并发脓毒症，于脓毒症发生后连续2d亦取其外周血。另取20例健康体检者外周血作为对照。流式细胞仪检测CD14^＋单核细胞HLA．DR表达率，酶联免疫吸附测定法检测血浆中肿瘤坏死因子α（TNF—α）、白细胞介素10（IL-10）的浓度。结果非脓毒症患者伤后1、3、7、14、28dCD14^＋单核细胞HLA—DR表达率分别为（15±6）％、（74±5）％、（264±17）％、（284-16）％、（474-16）％，明显低于健康体检者[（924±10）％，P〈0．01]；脓毒症患者发生脓毒症后1、2d，该指标亦明显低于健康体检者及非脓毒症患者伤后1、7、14、28d（P〈0．01）。脓毒症患者TNF—d检出率及TNF—α、IL-10浓度，均高于非脓毒症患者和健康体检者（P〈0．05或P〈0．01）。伤后1、7、28d，外周血CD14^＋单核细胞HLA—DR表达率与IL—10浓度呈显著负相关（r分别为-0．9963、-0．7459、-0．8474，P〈0．01）。结论烧伤延迟复苏患者免疫功能低下，促炎性介质释放量增加，并发脓毒症时则更为严重。外周血CD14^＋单核细胞HLA—DR表达率可作为动态检测患者免疫功能状态的有效指标。
