Background: The high motivation of rescuers for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can result in high-quality CPR. However, there is no instrument to measure the CPR motivation. The purpose of this study was to design the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Motivation Scale (CPRMS) and evaluate its psychometric properties.
Methods: Directed qualitative content analysis and other related instruments were used for the production of items pool, and then the psychometric properties of the CPRMS were evaluated using face, content and construct validities, and internal consistency, and stability for reliability.
Results: The CPRMS was consisted of 43 items. The Scale-Content Validity Index was reported as 0.97. Exploratory factor analysis led to eight factors, which in total accounted for 48.58% of observed variance. Confirmatory factor analysis also showed the average fit of the explored model. The values of alpha, omega and intraclass correlation coefficients were reported as 0.92, 0.76-0.86, and 0.90 respectively.
Conclusion: CPRMS is a valid and reliable instrument for the measurement of CPR motivation in eight dimensions of facilitators of resuscitation, feeling of achievement, high chances of success, low chances of success, recognition and appreciation, accountability, perceived importance, and beliefs. CPRMS can differentiate between rescuers with high and low motivation.

Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) presents significant challenges with low survival rates, emphasizing the need for effective bystander CPR training. In Basic Life Support (BLS) training, the role of instructors is pivotal as they assess and correct learners' cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques to ensure proficiency in life-saving skills. This study evaluates the concordance between CPR quality assessments by Basic Life Support (BLS) instructors and those determined through Quantitative CPR (QCPR) devices, utilizing data from BLS courses conducted at National Cheng Kung University Hospital from October 2017 to April 2018.

Introduction: Emergency care begins in the community, who are often the first on the scene. Where emergency care systems are nascent or absent, bystanders represent the only prehospital emergency care that victims might receive. It is important to equip bystanders through life-saving skills training (LST).

The possible involvement of mTOR/p70S6K signaling in mediating Fibrillin-1 expression during the transition from acute kidney injury (AKI) to chronic kidney disease (CKD) after cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CA/CPR). A CA/CPR AKI model was established using male C57BL/6 mice aged 8-12 weeks. The expression of Fibrillin-1 and activation of the mTOR/p70S6K signaling pathway in kidney tissues were assessed at different time points.

Recent studies suggested intrathecal vasodilator administration as a therapy to mitigate post-ischemic cerebral hypoperfusion following cardiac arrest. We examined the effects of two commonly used intrathecal vasodilators, sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and nicardipine, on cerebral pial microcirculation, cortical tissue oxygen tension (PctO2), and electrocortical activity in the early post-resuscitation period using a porcine model of cardiac arrest. Thirty pigs were resuscitated after 14 min of untreated cardiac arrest.
