Bystander Response and Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Outcomes (Bro. Study) in 3 Gulf Countries: Protocol for a Prospective, Observational, International Collaboration Study.

Background: : Globally, there is significant variation in the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival rate. Early links in the chain of survival, including bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator at the scene, are known to be of crucial importance, with strong evidence of increased survival rate with good neurological outcomes. The data from the Middle East are limited and report variable rates of bystander CPR and survival.

Interprofessional On-floor Education on Oxygen Therapy in COVID-19 Patients, Cardiac Arrest, and Procedural Sedation: Perception of Health-care Workers in Emergency Setting.

Objective: There is paucity of evidence for interprofessional education (IPE) conducted within the working environment of emergency departments (EDs). This study demonstrates favorable perception of on-floor IPE sessions conducted in a busy emergency department.

Materials And Methods: Between January and December 2020, IPE was conducted in EDs using low fidelity manikins and involved nurses, doctors, respiratory therapists, and medical students already present on floor.
