Are paediatric residents able to deliver basic CPR procedures? Ventilation and chest compression rate.

摘要

Quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an important determinant of outcome. However, several studies have shown that the quality of CPR is suboptimal, even when performed by experienced health staff. The most common errors are hyperventilation and inadequate chest compressions.Pae-diatric residents should be trained to perform CPR manoeuvres effectively and they should maintain such skills by means of retraining programs and real patient resuscitations. Our objective was to assess if paediatric residents are able to ventilate with bag and mask and to deliver chest compressions according to current guidelines.
