Determination Of Cardiopulmonary Resusitation Effectiveness On The Cpr Manikin
Purpose
Many studies have shown that people who are applying cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can not make effective CPR after a while due to fatigue, etc. For this reason, it is aimed to determine the effective sustainability of CPR quality on CPR Manikin by following the 2015 CPR guidelines.
Materials And Methods
In this study, which was carried out on volunteer 153 students who are receiving training in various health programs ON first aid and basic life support at Izmir Economy University .time and effectiveness of CPR which THE students applied on (ambu brand) Cpr manikin were measured. The students' positions, blowing capacities, depth of pressures and effective pressure durations were evaluated. Numerical data was analyzed by t-test . P value <0.05 was accepted statistically. The data were analyzed in the SPSS 21 program.
Results
The average age of the students is 20.32+ 03 height average 169.20+ 26 cm. the average weight is 65.12 + 42. The average CPR is 2.95 + 86 minutes, the average pressure depth is 4.33 cm, and the average blowing capacity is 0.6 / liter. Arm position is correct in 78% of students. In 84% of the cases the application site was determined correctly. 60 % of the students were able to sustain heart rhythm.
There was a statistically significant difference between the 7 groups (p <0.005). Sufficient compression ratios, blowing capacities and effective CPR times were found to be higher in paramedics than in the other students(p <0.005). Although the performance of the paramedics is better than the other groups, the effective CPR has not lasted long enough.
Conclusions
CPR is a very important technique that increases the chances of survival. However, this practice is ineffective if not implemented correctly and timely. In this study on mannequin, manual CPR showed that it was ineffective after a while.
This shows that this is a very important shortcoming in the field that there are seconds between life and death. for this reason, it is of great importance to produce and operate auxiliary robotic equipment for CPR in pre-hospital, ambulance and emergency departments
