Motivations for and experience with labor induction at 39 weeks in women with obesity-A qualitative study.

Introduction: Timing of induction of labor (IOL) at term has been investigated in multiple settings. In Denmark, the 'When to INDuce for OverWeight' (WINDOW) study compares IOL at 39 weeks of gestation vs expectant management in low-risk women with obesity. However, knowledge on women's expectations of and experience with IOL is sparse.

Full-term induction of labor vs expectant management and cesarean delivery in women with obesity: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to review the literature comparing full-term induction of labor with expectant management in women with obesity on the risk of cesarean delivery and other adverse outcomes.

Data Sources: A literature search was performed on PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the Cochrane Library.

Induction of labour at 39 weeks versus expectant management in low-risk obese women: study protocol for a randomised controlled study.

Introduction: Obesity is associated with many pregnancy complications, including both fetal macrosomia and prolonged labour. As a result, there is often also an increased risk of caesarean section. In other settings, labour induction near to term reduces adverse outcomes such as stillbirth and birth injury, without causing more caesarean deliveries.

Major Differences in the Use of Protocols for Dispatcher-Assisted Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Among ILCOR Member Countries.

Introduction And Purpose: Dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DA-CPR) increases the rate of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). DA-CPR is recommended by resuscitation councils globally and it has been shown that the general public expects to receive pre-arrival instructions while waiting for help. A scientific advisory from the American Heart Association identifies standardized and structured DA-CPR protocols as important to increase bystander CPR rates.

Three-Month Retention of Basic Life Support with an Automated External Defibrillator Using a Two-Stage versus Four-Stage Teaching Technique.

Introduction: Resuscitation training increases bystander's ability to perform basic life support (BLS) with an automated external defibrillator (AED) immediately after training. However, several studies indicate that resuscitation skills decay rapidly.

Methods: This study evaluates retention of BLS/AED skills three months after an initial study comparing acquisition of BLS/AED skills among laypersons immediately after training with a two-stage versus four-stage teaching technique.

In a bed or on the floor? - The effect of realistic hospital resuscitation training: A randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: In-hospital cardiac arrest has a poor prognosis and often occurs in patients lying in a hospital bed. A bed mattress is a soft compressible surface that may decrease cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality. Often hospital CPR training is performed with a manikin on the floor.

A novel protocol for dispatcher assisted CPR improves CPR quality and motivation among rescuers-A randomized controlled simulation study.

Background: Emergency dispatchers use protocols to instruct bystanders in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Studies changing one element in the dispatcher's protocol report improved CPR quality. Whether several changes interact is unknown and the effect of combining multiple changes previously reported to improve CPR quality into one protocol remains to be investigated.

E-learning in pediatric basic life support: a randomized controlled non-inferiority study.

Objective: Dissemination of pediatric basic life support (PBLS) skills is recommended. E-learning is accessible and cost-effective, but it is currently unknown whether laypersons can learn PBLS through e-learning. The hypothesis of this study was to investigate whether e-learning PBLS is non-inferior to instructor-led training.
