Quality and efficiency of bystander CPR

Resuscitation, 1993
Incorrectly performed bystander CPR might compromise survival of the cardiac arrest patient. We therefore evaluated the outcome in 3306 out-of-hospital primary cardiac arrests of which 885 received bystander CPR. bystanders performed CPR correctly in 52%, incorrectly in 11%, 31% performed only external chest compressions (ECC) and 6% only mouth-to ...

Disagreeable physical characteristics affecting bystander CPR

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1989
We determined the frequency of certain disagreeable physical characteristics (presence of vomitus, dentures, blood and/or alcohol on the breath) of a cardiac arrest patient and the effect these characteristics have on a bystander's willingness to perform CPR.

Changing EMS dispatcher CPR instructions to 400 compressions before mouth-to-mouth improved bystander CPR rates

Resuscitation, 2011
Background: To examine the impact of changing dispatcher CPR instructions (400 compressions: 2 breaths, followed by 100:2 ratio) on rates of bystander CPR and survival in adults with presumed cardiac out-of-hospital arrest (OHCA) in Melbourne, Australia.

Aspects on the increase in bystander CPR in Sweden and its association with outcome

Resuscitation, 2009
AIM: To describe changes in the proportion of bystanders performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Sweden and to study the impact of bystander CPR on ventricular fibrillation and on survival during various

CPR knowledge and attitude to performing bystander CPR among secondary school students in Norway [PDF]

Resuscitation, 2011
Background:Early bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is essential for survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Young people are potentially important bystander CPR providers, as basic life support (BLS) training can be distributed ...

Effectiveness of bystander CPR.

JAMA, 1996
To the Editor. —We applaud the effort by Dr Gallagher and colleagues1to extend their earlier study on the disappointing outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in New York City2to evaluate the effectiveness of bystander-initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in that large urban setting.

Bystander-Initiated CPR by Design, Not by Chance

New England Journal of Medicine, 2015
Every hour in the United States, 38 people have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and fewer than 1 of 10 survive.1 Increasing data show that timely provision of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) saves lives, and tens of millions of people have been trained to perform it. Yet, less than half of persons with cardiac arrest in the United States receive

The effectiveness of bystander CPR in an animal model

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1989
Several clinical studies have yielded conflicting results in examining the effectiveness of bystander CPR (BCPR). The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the effectiveness of BCPR in an animal model of cardiac arrest and resuscitation. Ten swine were instrumented for hemodynamic and regional blood flow measurements with tracer microspheres ...

The need for ventilatory support during bystander CPR

Resuscitation, 1995
To compare CPR with chest compressions plus ventilatory support (CC+V) and chest compressions alone (CC).Prospective, randomized study.Research laboratory.After 2 minutes of ventricular fibrillation, 18 domestic swine (20 to 35 kg) were treated first with CC or CC+V for 10 minutes, then with standard advanced cardiac life support.Hemodynamics, survival,

Risk and ROSC – Legal implications of bystander CPR

Resuscitation, 2020
Early bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been associated with better patient outcomes in cardiac arrest. Despite this, not all cases of cardiac arrest receive bystander intervention. Reasons for this gap include disparities in provision of bystander CPR between race, gender and age groups.
