dc.description.abstractThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the basic life support skills of doctors in a hospital resuscitation team and to identify potential factors affecting those skills. Twelve anesthesiology residents were induced in this study. Each doctor was asked to perform mouth-to-mouth ventilation for 10 minutes and then chest compression for another 10 minutes on a Laerdal Skillmeter Resusci-Anne manikin during the day (10 am) and at night (10 pm). The rates of correct ventilation, correct chest compression, ventilation errors (i.e., excessive inflation, stomach insufflation, insufficient ventilation), and compression errors (i.e., insufficient chest compression/decompression, excessive chest compression, incorrect hand placement) were determined for each 2-min interval up to 10 min. In addition, effects of sex, seniority, CPR duration, and time of day (day vs night) on those skills were assessed. The mean rates of correct ventilation were 53.3±23.9% (day) and 60.4±16% (night); the mean rates of correct chest compression, 76.9±15% (day) and 76.5±14.7% (night). During the first 2-minutes period of testing at night, men doctors more frequently achieved correct ventilation than did women doctors (p<0.05). Overall, the practical CPR skills of the study participants were not influenced by sex, seniority, CPR duration, or time of day; however, the participants' skills were poor. This suggests that all medical staff, especially members of in-hospital resuscitation teams, should undergo regular, periodic CPR training. © 2004 Tohoku University Medical Press.
