Title Evaluation of the effectiveness of basic pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation training by testing
 
Creator Bogutska, N.К.
 
Description In 1988 the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Academy
of Pediatrics (AAP) introduced fi rst pediatric courses, pediatric basic life support

(PBLS) and pediatric advanced life support (PALS). Since 2004 the use of automated
external defi brillators (AED) on children was approved by the AHA. In 2010 the
AHA updated their CPR guidelines which stated the importance of high quality CPR
(suffi cient rate and depth without excessively ventilating) and the changes of the
order of interventions from airway, breathing, chest compressions (ABC) to chest
compressions, airway, breathing (CAB). The AHA’s PBLS and PALS courses have
been updated to refl ect new science in the 2015 AHA Guidelines update for CPR,
these recommendations were used as basis for working-out of both basic pediatric
CPR training and set of tests for evaluation of its effectiveness.
We have developed a base of paper tests same both for initial and fi nal testing
of students for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills. Total number of tests was
24 short questions with single answer choice out of 4 proposed answers. These tests
were chosen out of 40 free available tests on offi cial AHA website. Set of 24 tests
consisted of 12 questions on PBLS (6 of basic CPR, 6 of fi rst aid) and 12 questions on
ALS (5 of advanced cardiovascular life support including AED use and 7 of PALS).
Students of specialty “Medical Psychology” in small groups participated in 1,5 hours
training instructor-led course in the specially equipped classroom, a series of videos
and simulated pediatric emergencies were used in order to reinforce the important
concepts of a systematic approach to pediatric assessment, basic life support,
management algorithms, effective resuscitation and team dynamics. The goal of the
basic CPR and PBLS course was to improve the quality of initial care provided to
injured children, except neonates. The tasks of the course were to master high-quality
child CPR AED and infant CPR, to recognize patients who do and do not require
immediate intervention, to recognize cardiopulmonary arrest early and application
of CPR within 10 seconds in order to pass successfully the 1- and 2-rescuer child
BLS with awareness of AED use and 1- and 2-rescuer infant BLS skills. Testing was
implemented before and after training course, every attempt lasted up to 10 min. Only
fi rst 12 tests were used to evaluate the effectiveness of basic CPR training, while the
rest 12 questions were used as control set. Current and fi nal academic achievements
and results of test anxiety testing were used for association assessment.
The results of initial total testing was average of 12,4±2,2 correct answers (minmax:
11-16) or 51,7% and fi nally there was an improvement up to average 16,4±2,2
(p<0,0001) of the sum of initially correct and corrected for proper answers (min-max:
14-22) or 68,3%. Taking into account gain of correct answers and loss due to wrong
corrections of initially true answers 60% of students had improved initial results and
40% of participants have not changed them.
PBLS testing was average of 6,0±1,2 correct answers (min-max: 5-8) or 50,0%
and fi nally there was an improvement up to average 7,2±1,3 of correct answers (minmax:
6-9) (p<0,17) or 60% (min-max: 50-75%). PALS testing was average of 6,4±1,5
correct answers (min-max: 5-8) or 53% with exactly the same fi nal results (p>0,05).
There was almost signifi cant difference in gain of correct answers of PBLS versus
PALS – 1,2±0,5 versus 0±1,2 correspondingly (p<0,08). All 100% of students have
improved their initial results in the PBLS set of tests.

The best fi nal results with non-signifi cant gain were demonstrated in basic
CPR testing: 3,2±1,3 of correct answers (min-max: 2-5) or 53% with improvement
up to 3,6±1,0 (p<0,54) of correct answers (min-max: 3-5) or 60%. Signifi cant gain
of correct answers was observed in fi rst aid set of tests: 2,8±0,5 of correct answers
(min-max: 2-3) or 47% with improvement up to 3,6±1,0 (p<0,04) of correct answers
(min-max: 3-4) or 60%.
Results of PALS testing have not changed in dynamics: 3,6±1,3 of correct
answers (min-max: 2-5) initially and 3,6±1,5 of correct answers (min-max: 1-5)
fi nally or 51,4% (p>0,05), as well as results of advanced cardiovascular life support
including AED: 2,8±0,8 of correct answers (min-max: 2-4) initially and 2,8±1,1 of
correct answers (min-max: 1-4) fi nally or 56% (p>0,05).
According to correlation analysis the fi nal results of total testing signifi cantly
associated with initial basic CPR testing results (r=0,93; p<0,02), anxiety testing
results (r=0,93; p<0,03), and the gain of fi nal CPR testing signifi cantly associated
with improvement in step II testing results in Pediatrics (r=0,88; p<0,05).
Conclusions. According to fi nal BLS skills testing in order to improve students’
basic pediatric CPR skills the AED simulator is to be added to the equipment for the
training with manikins. Effectiveness of the basic CPR training was approved by
the significant increase in correct answers of final total testing as compared to initial
testing due to set of testing of pediatric BLS and first aid skills.
