Abstract

The purpose of this research is to report the influence of BLS training on the knowledge and life support skills of senior high school students.. We did an experimental study in one of the senior high schools in Malang City. First-year until third-year students conducted a BLS training. The use of automated external defibrillators and chest compressions were addressed in a 3.5-hour simulation-based session. We used pre-and post-tests to evaluate the outcome of BLS training with multiple-choice questions. Student t-tests were used to compare scores. According to our analysis, the average score before and after the test went from 80 to 94.19 (p<0.001). Following the instruction, over 90% of the students were able to carry out every step of automated external defibrillation and BLS. To sum up, high school students can learn BLS through a simulation-based method; the training validates their attitude and equips them with essential knowledge and skill sets, enhancing their confidence in BLS performance.

Abstract

Background :Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is associated with the increased occurrence of left ventricular (LV) thrombosis caused by cardiac dysfunction. This condition is associated with significant mortality and morbidity because of its significance as a potential source of systemic emboli. We are reporting a case of Acute Stroke and Limb Ischemia in a Young Female Patient with DCM.Case Illustration :A 20-year-old female was referred to our hospital due to pain in her right lower extremities and weakness in her right limb. She had been diagnosed with peripartum cardiomyopathy five years earlier. A general physical examination found her right lower limbs to be cold and pulseless. A neurological examination revealed hemiparesis involving the right side of her body. The chest radiograph showed cardiomegaly. Electrocardiography indicated sinus rhythm with LVH. The transthoracic echocardiograms revealed significant LV systolic failure with a massive thrombus at LV. The Duplex ultrasound showed a thrombus at the right dorsal pedis artery, and a head CT scan revealed an acute infarct. The patient was started on heparin and bridged with warfarin 5mg orally daily, and she was uneventfully discharged after one week.Conclusion :DCM had been associated with thrombosis, stroke, and an increased risk of thromboembolism. Previous studies had documented decreased thromboembolic events due to administering anticoagulants.
