Abstract
Objective: Initiation of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is directly linked to the outcome of cardiac arrest in the community. Recent reports have indicated a reluctance among witnesses to perform CPR on strangers especially mouth to mouth ventilation. The status of this in Iceland is unknown. The objective of this study was to assess the attitude of Icelanders towards bystander CPR. Material and methods: A telephone survey was conducted on 1200 randomly selected Icelanders, aged 16-75 years, with regard to their attitude towards pre-hospital CPR on strangers. A total of 804 (70.1%) chose to participate. Results: A large number had received some kind of training in CPR (73%), wheras only 6% had actually participated in CPR. In accordance, 50% thought they would be able to perform chest compressions adequately and 55% mouth to mouth ventilation. A total of 491 (65%) would likely volunteer to perform chest compressions on a stranger, while 178 (24%) would not and 84 (11%) were undecided. Similarly, 473 (64%) would likely volunteer to perform mouth to mouth ventilation on a stranger. One hundred seventy seven (24%) would not and 93 (12%) were unsure. An overwhelming majority, 620 (81%) said it would not make any difference regarding their participation in CPR if the procedure was simplified and included only chest compressions but not mouth to mouth ventilation. Conclusions: Icelanders have a very positive attitude towards bystander CPR, over two thirds have had some kind of CPR instruction and a large majority has no aversion towards performing mouth to mouth ventilation on strangers. These results are in contrast to similar data from the United States.
Inngangur: Skyndidauði er í meirihluta tilfella vegna sleglahraðtakts (ventricular tachycardia) eða sleglaflökts (ventricular fibrillation). Grunnendurlífgun með öndunaraðstoð og hjartahnoði ásamt raflostsmeðferð geta verið lífsbjörg undir slíkum kringumstæðum. Undanfarin ár hefur gætt tregðu meðal almennings erlendis við að taka þátt í endurlífgun hjá ókunnugum utan sjúkrahúss. Á það sérstaklega við munn við munn öndunaraðstoðina og er mikilvægasta ástæðan ótti við smitsjúkdóma. Viðhorf Íslendinga til endurlífgunar hjá ókunnugum utan sjúkrahúss er ekki þekkt. Tilgangur: Markmið þessarar rannsóknar var að kanna viðhorf almennings á Íslandi til endurlífgunar utan sjúkrahúss með áherslu á viðhorf til munn við munn öndunaraðstoðar. Jafnframt vildum við kanna hvort það myndi breyta einhverju um þátttöku almennings í endurlífgun á ókunnugum ef slíkt fæli eingöngu í sér hjartahnoð en ekki munn við munn öndun. Efniviður og aðferðir: Gerð var símakönnun þar sem átta spurningar voru lagðar fyrir slembiúrtak einstaklinga í þjóðskrá á aldrinum 16-75 ára. Upphaflegt úrtak var 1200 manns, 804 svöruðu og svarshlutfall var því 70,1%. Niðurstöður: Stór hluti aðspurðra hafði hlotið tilsögn í framkvæmd hjartahnoðs (69%) og munn við munn öndunar (73%). Hins vegar höfðu fáir (6%) tekið þátt í tilraun til endurlífgunar. Af þeim sem tóku afstöðu treystu 394 (50%) sér til að framkvæma hjartahnoð hjá ókunnugum úti á götu og 491 (65%) myndi líklega gefa sig fram til að framkvæma hjartahnoð. Hvað varðar munn við munn öndunaraðstoð, treystu 417 (55%) sér vel til að framkvæma slíkt og 473 (63%) myndu líklega gefa sig fram til að framkvæma munn við munn öndun. Mest kom á óvart að það skipti ekki máli fyrir þátttöku 81% aðspurðra í endurlífgun hvort framkvæmdin fæli eingöngu í sér hjartahnoð eða bæði hnoð og munn við munn öndun. Ályktun: Íslendingar virðast almennt mjög jákvæðir gagnvart því að taka þátt í endurlífgun hjá ókunnugum utan sjúkrahúss. Margir hafa hlotið tilsögn í grunnendurlífgun og það skiptir ekki máli fyrir þátttöku þeirra hvort ferlið sé einfaldað á þann hátt að það feli eingöngu í sér hjartahnoð en ekki munn við munn öndunaraðstoð.
