Background: Bystander CPR (B-CPR) is crucial to increase survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), and this study is performed to assess the willingness and obstacles of Chinese healthcare professionals (HCPs) to perform B-CPR on strangers, as well as the factors associated with the willingness.
Methods: An internet-based questionnaire surveying demographic information, CPR training, CPR knowledge, willingness, and obstacles to perform B-CPR among 10,393 HCPs. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the factors associated with the willingness.
Results: Here, 73.9% of HCPs were willing to perform B-CPR on strangers in China. The factors associated with the willingness were as follows: female, senior, working in Third-class hospitals, working in Pre-hospital emergency and Cardiology or Cardiac surgery, receiving current training, having adequate CPR knowledge. The main obstacles were fear of infection via mouth-to-mouth ventilations (MMV), fear of being blackmailed and fear of legal liability.
Conclusion: About three quarters of HCPs are willing to perform B-CPR. Female HCPs, those who have more CPR experience, adequate knowledge, and recent training are more likely to perform B-CPR. Reform of the legal and credit system are needed, and recommendation of hands-only CPR is a possibility to encourage HCPs to perform B-CPR on strangers.

Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major public health burden worldwide. Promoting bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (B-CPR) is a key element in improving the survival rate of OHCA. The security guard is a specific population in China that plays a significant role as bystanders in public settings.

The study of human performance and perception of exertion constitutes a fundamental aspect for monitoring health implications and enhancing training outcomes such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). It involves gaining insights into the varied responses and tolerance levels exhibited by individuals engaging in physical activities. To measure perception of exertion, many tools are available, including the Borg scale.

Background: Two thirds of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests (OHCAs) occur at the patient's home ('at-home-CA'), where bystander CPR (B-CPR) rates are significantly lower than in public locations. Knowledge about the circumstances of this specific setting has mainly been limited to quantitative data. To develop a more conceptual understanding of the circumstances and dynamics of 'at-home CA', we conducted a qualitative interview study.

Prehospital, Resuscitation and Emergency Care Research Unit, School of Nursing, Curtin University, Western Australia, Australia.
Background: To maximise out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients' survival, bystanders should perform continuous, good quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) until ambulance arrival.
Objectives: To identify published literature describing barriers and facilitators between callers and call-takers, which affect initiation and performance (continuation and quality) of bystander CPR (B-CPR) throughout the OHCA emergency call.
Eligibility Criteria: Studies were included if they reported on the population (emergency callers and call-takers), concept (psychological, physical and communication barriers and facilitators impacting the initiation and performance of B-CPR) and context (studies that analysed OHCA emergency calls).
Cerebroplacental Ratio Versus Nonstress Test in Predicting Adverse Perinatal Outcomes in Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy: A Prospective Observational Study.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of the cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) in predicting adverse perinatal outcomes compared to the nonstress test (NST) in pregnant women with hypertension.
- CPR demonstrated higher sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values for neonatal outcomes, revealing a stronger ability to identify potential complications than NST.
- The findings suggest that CPR may be a more reliable method for monitoring fetal health in hypertensive pregnancies, indicating its potential as a superior antenatal surveillance tool.
