Abstract

One of the adverse consequences of spinal anesthesia is hypotension. Previous investigations regarding the correlation between post-spinal anesthetic hypotension and body mass index have yielded inconsistent results. This investigation predicted the Indonesian population using the body mass index computed according to the Asia-Pacific categorization. This investigation aimed to determine the correlation between body mass index and the frequency of hypotension following spinal anesthetic interventions for cesarean sections—quantitatively based on analytical observational research. 111 samples met the inclusion and exclusion criteria used in the study between May and August of 2022. An observation sheet is employed to obtain measurements of the patient's height, weight, and systolic blood pressure before and after spinal anesthesia. Type I obesity is associated with the greatest incidence of hypotension (25–30 kg/m2). Out of the 75 samples (67.6%) that were free of hypotension, 36 samples (32.4%) were affected by it. p-value of 0.322 for the Kruskal-Wallis test. In individuals who undergo spinal anesthetic treatments through cesarean sections, there is no significant correlation between body mass index and the frequency of hypotension. The results demonstrated that 36 samples (32.4%) experienced hypotension, while 75 samples (67.6%) did not. In individuals with a high body mass index and type I obesity (25–30 kg/m2), hypotension is most prevalent. There is no significant correlation between the frequency of hypotension following spinal anesthetic treatments and body mass index.

Abstract

Understanding BLS is crucial for the public from a young age to detect and handle cardiac arrest emergencies effectively.This study aimed to determine the association between BLS training and the level of BLS knowledge among first-year medical and non-medical students at a private university in West Jakarta. The study used an analytical cross-sectional design.This study was conducted on first-year medical and non-medical students at UKRIDA University in 2023. The research tool was an online questionnaire distributed through Voluntary Response Online Sampling, with 158 respondents meeting the inclusion criteria. Results showed that 81% of respondents had never attended BLS training, with 26.6% having low knowledge and 62.2% very low knowledge. Low knowledge was found in 92% of medical students and 84% of non-medical students. About 33.5% of respondents would immediately call for medical help, and 25.9% would call for other assistance without checking for a response when first seeing an unconscious person. Knowledge of chest compression immediately after detecting no pulse or breath was only correct in 17.1% of cases, while 23.4% provided breaths first, and the rest waited for help to arrive. Early and regular training is crucial to improve BLS knowledge. There is a significant association between the history of BLS training and the level of BLS knowledge (p < 0.001), with respondents who had never attended BLS training tending to have lower levels of knowledge.
