Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the importance of preventing cardiac arrests in hospitals and highlights the implementation of Rapid Response Systems (RRS) as a strategy to address this issue, noting a lack of research specifically in Spain.
- A nationwide survey was conducted with 62 healthcare professionals in Spain, revealing that while many institutions have Rapid Response Teams (RRT), only a small percentage activate them early despite having the necessary equipment and training.
- Findings indicate variability in training and monitoring practices related to RRT and suggest the need for improved communication and quality indicators to enhance emergency response efforts in Spanish hospitals.
Purpose: Unlike in the outpatient setting, delivery of aerosols to critically ill patients may be considered complex, particularly in ventilated patients, and benefits remain to be proven. Many factors influence aerosol delivery and recommendations exist, but little is known about knowledge translation into clinical practice.
Methods: Two-week cross-sectional study to assess the prevalence of aerosol therapy in 81 intensive and intermediate care units in 22 countries.
Objectives: To analyse how rescuers tolerate the effort derived of giving uninterrupted chest compressions during 2min.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-three healthy volunteers, nurses and doctors of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), members of the hospital cardiac arrest team, were enrolled in the study. Using a training manikin, participants were asked to perform chest compressions during 2min at a rate of 100min(-1).
