Prevalence of Dumping Syndrome After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy and Comparison with Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.

Background: Dumping syndrome is a well-known side effect of laparoscopic gastric bypass (LRYGB), and it is commonly believed that dumping syndrome is less likely to occur after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), due to the preservation of the pyloric sphincter. However, it is not uncommon for patients undergoing LSG at our center to report symptoms suggestive of dumping syndrome.

Objective: To assess the prevalence of symptoms of dumping syndrome after LSG compared with LRYGB.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation performance of subjects over forty is better following half-hour video self-instruction compared to traditional four-hour classroom training.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training is not well targeted to family members of individuals at highest risk of cardiac arrest. Participants in traditional CPR classes (TRAD) average 31 years of age, while family members of cardiac patients average 55 years. Video self-instruction (VSI) can reach older individuals and others who do not participate in TRAD classes.
