Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the challenges and feasibility of performing CPR on patients with viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHF), highlighting the need for clearer guidelines in critical care interventions.
- Using simulation, the researchers found that CPR can be effectively performed in full PPE, achieving a chest compression fraction of 72% and a manual rate of 129 compressions per minute.
- The study identified various latent safety threats (LSTs) that impact the healthcare team’s safety and performance, suggesting that refining team roles and responsibilities could enhance both safety and CPR quality.
Objective: The Department of Homeland Security launched the Stop the Bleed initiative, a campaign intended to teach bystanders hemorrhage control strategies. Despite the program's popularity, little is known about actions taken by participants afterwards. We sought to determine how often participants acquired the equipment that is necessary in applying the skills taught.

Setting: Sixteen TBI Model System centers.
Patients Or Other Participants: Persons (3,940) with moderate-to-severe TBI who self-reported as white, black, or Hispanic.
