Item Evaluation of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Conditions in Turkey: Current Status of Code Blue(2021) Keles, Gonul Tezcan; Ozbilgin, Sule; Ugur, Levent; Birbicer, Handan; Akin, Sule; Kuvaki, Bahar; Doruk, Nurcan; Turkan, Hulya; Akan, Mert; 0000-0001-6423-1076; 33718903Objective: Globally, previously determined teams activated by 'code blue' calls target rapid and organised responses to medical emergency situations. This study aimed to evaluate the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) conditions in Turkey. Methods: A web-based survey was sent to anaesthesiologists in Turkey via email. The survey included 36 questions about demographic features and 'code blue' practices and procedures. Results: A total of 180 participants were included. The mean working duration was 16.1 +/- 7.5 years. Of the anaesthesiologists who participated, 35% worked in university, 26.1% in education and research, 1.7% in city hospitals, 18.9% in state hospitals and 18.3% in private hospitals; 68.3% had CPR certification. There were code blue systems in 97.6% of the organisations. For code blue calls, 71.9% were activated by calling '2222'. There were 41.5% organisations with code blue teams of 3-4 people, whereas 26.7% had 2-member teams. Among call responders, 68.5% were anaesthesia technicians/paramedics, 60.7% were anaesthesiologists and 42.7% were anaesthesia assistants. In organisations, 66.3% regularly conducted code blue training. In total, 63.3% of the participants stated that the time to reach the location was nearly 2-4 minutes. During CPR, the use of capnography was 18.3%. Of the participants, 73.8% chose endotracheal intubation as priority airway device during CPR. Conclusion: Today, code blue practice is an important quality criterion for hospitals. This study shows the current status of 'code blue' according to the results of respondent data completing the survey. To prevent in-hospital cardiac arrest, a chain of preventive measures should be established, including personnel training, monitoring of patients, recognition of patient deterioration, the presence of a call for help system and effective intervention.Item Compliance to guidelines in in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation interventions: single-center experience(2019) Caliskan, Nail; Durukan, Polat; Baykan, Necmi; Kaymaz, Neslij Dogan; Elmali, Ferhan; Kavalci, CemilPurpose: The aim of this study was to investigate standard of knowledge about adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation according to current guidelines and affecting factors among clinicians working at the Hospital of Erciyes University, Medicine School. Materials and Methods: The study conducted on residences and subspecialty residences who accepted to participate and complete the survey. Overall 303 clinicians who accepted to participate and were accessible for completion of survey were recruited to the study. The survey included 2 sections. The first section included data regarding demographic characteristics and the second part included 20 multiple-choice items with one correct answer prepared based on 2010 American Heart Association Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care.. Results: Age, total duration of medical practice and residency positively affected standard of knowledge. Higher number of cardiopulmonary resuscitation performed within prior 6 months and defibrillation performance during cardiopulmonary resuscitation positively affected standard of knowledge. Post-graduate theoretical and practical training positively affect standard of knowledge. Conclusion: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation trainings aiming clinicians should be standardized and updated as well as education during employment should be scheduled to provide access to such programs.
