ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The objective was to compare resuscitation performance on simulated in-hospital cardiac arrests after traditional American Heart Association (AHA) Healthcare Provider Basic Life Support course (TradBLS) versus revised course including in-hospital skills (HospBLS).DESIGN:
This study is a prospective, randomized, controlled curriculum evaluation.SETTING:
Johns Hopkins Medicine Simulation Center.SUBJECTS:
One hundred twenty-two first year medical students were divided into fifty-nine teams. INTERVENTION HospBLS course of identical length, containing additional content contextual to hospital environments, taught utilizing Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice (RCDP). MEASUREMENTS The primary outcome measure during simulated cardiac arrest scenarios was chest compression fraction (CCF) and secondary outcome measures included metrics of high quality resuscitation. MAINRESULTS:
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest HospBLS teams had larger CCF [69% (65-74) vs. 58% (53-62), p<0.001] and were faster than TradBLS at initiating compressions [median (IQR) 9s (7-12) vs. 22s (17.5-30.5), p<0.001]. In-hospital cardiac arrest HospBLS teams had larger CCF [73% (68-75) vs. 50% (43-54), p<0.001] and were faster to initiate compressions [10s (6-11) vs. 36s (27-63), p<0.001]. All teams utilized the hospital AED to defibrillate within 180s per AHA guidelines [HospBLS 122s (103-149) vs. TradBLS 139s (117-172), p=0.09]. HospBLS teams performed more hospital-specific maneuvers to optimize compressions, i.e. utilized CPR button to flatten bed [7/30 (23%) vs. 0/29 (0%), p=0.006], backboard [21/30 (70%) vs. 5/29 (17%), p<0.001], stepstool [28/30 (93%) vs. 8/29 (28%), p<0.001], lowered bedrails [28/30 (93%) vs. 10/29 (34%), p<0.001], connected oxygen appropriately [26/30 (87%) vs. 1/29 (3%), p<0.001] and used oral airway and/or two-person bagging when traditional bag-mask-ventilation unsuccessful [30/30 (100%) vs. 0/29 (0%), p<0.001].CONCLUSION:
A hospital focused BLS course utilizing RCDP was associated with improved performance on hospital-specific quality measures compared with the traditional AHA course.Palabras clave
