Twenty Years of International Research on First Aid: A Bibliometric Visualization of Scientific Outputs.

Although first aid research is a wide-ranging and diverse field within medical science, so far no attempts have been made to provide a holistic view of international scientific outputs in the first aid domain. To determine strategic directions for conducting future studies, it is important to understand the status of the research, including its frontiers and blind spots. This study explored the global landscape of first aid research using bibliometric visualization analysis of relevant literature published within the last 20 years.

Public Comments on social media Regarding Self-management of Foreign Body Airway Obstruction; a Letter to Editor.

Foreign body airway obstruction (FBAO) frequently occurs unwitnessed. In the absence of external assistance and the ability to rapidly reach help, immediate self-management of FBAO could be the only way to avoid impending death from asphyxia. In this letter, relevant evidence of real-life self-management of severe FBAO from public comments posted on social media were gathered and reported.

Misinformation on resuscitation and first aid as an uncontrolled problem that demands close attention: a brief scoping review.

Objectives: Misinformation is currently recognised by the World Health Organization as an apparent threat to public health. This study aimed to provide an outline of published evidence on misinformation related to the potentially life-saving interventions - first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Study Design: A scoping review.

Large Language Model (LLM)-Powered Chatbots Fail to Generate Guideline-Consistent Content on Resuscitation and May Provide Potentially Harmful Advice.

Introduction: Innovative large language model (LLM)-powered chatbots, which are extremely popular nowadays, represent potential sources of information on resuscitation for the general public. For instance, the chatbot-generated advice could be used for purposes of community resuscitation education or for just-in-time informational support of untrained lay rescuers in a real-life emergency.

Study Objective: This study focused on assessing performance of two prominent LLM-based chatbots, particularly in terms of quality of the chatbot-generated advice on how to give help to a non-breathing victim.

Large Language Model-based Chatbot as a Source of Advice on First Aid in Heart Attack.

The ability of the cutting-edge large language model-powered chatbots to generate human-like answers to user questions hypothetically could be utilized for providing real-time advice on first aid for witnesses of cardiovascular emergencies. This study aimed to evaluate quality of the chatbot responses to inquiries on help in heart attack. The study simulated interrogation of the new Bing chatbot (Microsoft Corporation, USA) with the "heart attack what to do" prompt coming from 3 countries, the Gambia, India and the USA.

An expert consensus–based checklist for quality appraisal of educational resources on adult basic life support: a Delphi study.

Objective: Given the lack of a unified tool for appraising the quality of educational resources for lay-rescuer delivery of adult basic life support (BLS), this study aimed to develop an appropriate evaluation checklist based on a consensus of international experts.

Methods: In a two-round Delphi study, participating experts completed questionnaires to rate each item of a predeveloped 72-item checklist indicating agreement that an item should be utilized to evaluate the conformance of an adult BLS educational resource with resuscitation guidelines. Consensus on item inclusion was defined as a rating of ≥7 points from ≥75% of experts.

Dr. Google's Advice on First Aid: Evaluation of the Search Engine's Question-Answering System Responses to Queries Seeking Help in Health Emergencies.

Introduction: The ever-growing penetration of internet and mobile technologies into society suggests that people will increasingly use web searches to seek health-related information, including advice on first aid in medical emergencies. When a bystander is incompetent in first aid and has no immediate support from Emergency Medical Services (EMS), as it happens in low-resource settings or in disasters, instructions found online could be the sole driver for administering first aid before arrival of professional help.

Study Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate quality of advice on first aid generated by a web search engine's question-answering system (QAS) in response to search queries concerning provision of help in common health emergencies.
