Background: Preoxygenation prior to induction of general anesthesia is intended to increase the oxygen reserve in the lungs. This technique delays the onset of hypoxemia during the placement of the tracheal tube.
Objective: To observe the benefits of oxygen through nasal cannula when used as an adjunct during preoxygenation.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the impact of a social media campaign called '#CPR challenge' and a CPR skill booth on CPR knowledge and hands-only CPR skills among young adults in two colleges, one serving as an intervention group and the other as a control group.!* -
- After a 4-week campaign, results indicated that knowledge scores in the intervention group significantly increased from 29% to 57%, and their hands-on CPR skills were much higher compared to the control group.!* -
- The findings suggest that social media strategies can effectively enhance both awareness and practical skills related to hands-only CPR among young adults.!*
