Cognitive aid for neonatal resuscitation: a prospective single-blinded randomized controlled trial.

16 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Retention of skills and knowledge after neonatal resuscitation courses (NRP) is known to be problematic. The use of cognitive aids is mandatory in industries such as aviation, to avoid dependence on memory when decision-making in ... Read more...

Nationwide survey of resuscitation education in Finland.

12 Jul 2009 AIMS: Good-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is highlighted in the International Resuscitation Guidelines, but clinically the quality of CPR is often poor. Education of CPR has a major role in the primary skills imparted to students. ... Read more...

A national survey of prevalence of cardiopulmonary resuscitation training and knowledge of the emergency number in Ireland.

5 Jul 2009 AIM: The aim of this survey was to establish prevalence of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training within the last 5 years and reasons preventing training and initiation of CPR in Ireland as well as awareness of the emergency numbers. METHODS: ... Read more...
