Is Rescuer Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Jeopardised by Previous Fatiguing Exercise? International journal of environmental research and public health, 2020, 09-13, Volume: 17, Issue:18 Survival outcomes increase significantly when cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is provided correctly, but rescuer's fatigue can compromise CPR delivery. We investigated the effect of a 100-m maximal run on CPR and physiological variables in 14 emergency medical technicians (age 29.2 ± 5.8 years, height 171.2 ± 1.1 cm and weight 73.4 ± 13.1 kg). Using an adult manikin and a compression-ventilation ratio of 30:2, participants performed 4-min CPR after 4-min baseline conditions (CPR) and 4-min CPR after a 100-m maximal run carrying emergency material (CPR-run). Physiological variables were continuously measured during baseline and CPR conditions using a portable gas analyzer (K4b Topics: Adult; Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation; Fatigue; Female; Heart Arrest; Humans; Italy; Japan; Male; Manikins; Physical Exertion; Rome; Time Factors	2020
A survey of the in-hospital response to cardiac arrest on general wards in the hospitals of Rome. Resuscitation, 2003, Volume: 56, Issue:1 To investigate the response to cardiac arrest in general wards.. Direct interview with the cardiac arrest team (CAT) members in 32 hospitals in Rome, Italy.. The majority of CATs are activated by telephone but only two (6%) hospitals have a dedicated telephone number for emergency calls. The CAT always includes a physician, who is usually an anaesthesiologist (30 hospitals, 94%), and usually includes one or two other members (23 hospitals, 72%). In 21 hospitals (65%) there is less than one defibrillator per floor but in only six hospitals (19%), CATs are equipped with defibrillators. Resuscitation guidelines are adopted by 15 teams (47%). The Utstein style of data collection is used in only one hospital. The most common problems reported by the CATs are: insufficient training of ward personnel (29 hospitals, 91%), insufficient staff (19 hospitals, 59%) and insufficient equipment (18 hospitals, 56%). Average maximum arrival time for the CAT to arrive is 220 s, but varies significantly between single-building and the multiple-building hospitals (88 vs. 390 s; P<0.001).. The majority of the cardiac arrest teams have acceptable response times, but their efficiency may be impaired by the lack of staff, equipment and co-ordination with the ward personnel. CAT members identified a strong need for BLS training of ward personnel. More widespread introduction of standard protocols for resuscitation and reporting of cardiac arrest are necessary to evaluate aspects that may need improvement.
