Purpose: After developing and imparting knowledge of a simulation-based emergency airway management education program for nursing students, this study identified the effects of the education by evaluating emergency airway management knowledge, Clinical Performance Ability, self-efficacy, and critical thinking disposition. Method: The participants were 30 nursing students. Data were collected from October 14 to November 11, 2017, and analyzed using IBM SPSS Version 22.0. Results: The simulation-based nursing education program was developed and applied based on the ADDIE model involving five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. Comparing the pre-and post-education results, we observed statistically significant improvement when considering emergency airway management knowledge (t=-9.98, p<0.001), Clinical Performance Ability (t=-23.90, p<0.001), self-efficacy (t=-16.77, p<0.001), and critical thinking disposition (t=-5.04, p<0.001). Conclusions: Simulation-based emergency airway management training program is an effective educational program that enhances the emergency airway management knowledge, Clinical Performance Ability, self-efficacy, and critical thinking disposition of nursing students. We believe that the program developed in this study contributes towards improvement of patient nursing quality by enhancing the ability of nursing students to cope with emergencies in practice. Furthermore, it can be applied for educating new nursing students, and contribute to the development of nursing practices.

This study suggests a methodology of hydrologic decision making for the establishment of a standard of drought management from the drought analysis by the past drought history and for the drought monitoring and management according to drought processing. The construction and analysis of a decision tree diagram are performed and the step by step plan according to drought severity is suggested. Say, the decision tree diagram is constructed by the transition probability and quantity of monthly precipitation. Then the drought processing is investigated by the analysis of diagram and the 3-step of drought notice, drought warning, and emergency plan are established. The suggested methology in this study can be used for the other area and the decision tree diagram be used by changing the diagram according to the utilization purposes. Also, the choice of monthly PDSI class and precipitation analysis can be performed by the continuous data supplement. And so, a new standard value by the modified diagram is provided and the continuous drought management will be possible.

작년 여름 한국을 찾은 기네스펠트로가 한 연예매체에서 한국식 목욕탕과 때밀이를 좋아한다고 말해 화제가 된 적이 있었다. 우리나라의 때밀이 문화가 유명여배우의 입을 통해 언급되니 반갑기도 하다. 하지만 힘주어 때를 미는 것이 피부에 도움이 되는지는 생각해볼 문제다.

The purpose of this study is to perform the effectively advanced airway management in an emergency patient with cardiac arrest and trauma by comparing the appearance of influence in a change of visual-field height upon endotracheal intubation according to a change in position with intubation of paramedics in a moving ambulance and by analyzing the appearance of the influence in a patient's change in position with intubation upon speed in endotracheal intubation. Research subjects were randomly extracted 60(30 people for control group, 30 people for experimental group) people as the paramedics who are working at 13 fire stations in C Province. Data analysis was carried out ${\chi}^2$-test, independent t-test, paired t-test by using SPSS WIN 14.0 Version. As a result of research, to improve speed of the advanced airway management, it is considered to be likely effective in a patient's sniffing position and in the endotracheal intubation in the upper space of the main stretcher. The self-confidence in intubation after experiment increased significantly. Thus, the continuous education(training) on the intubation position and method within ambulance is considered to be likely needed for improving efficiency of the advanced airway management.

Purpose : Eosinophil is one of the important inflammatory cell involved in the airway inflammation in childhood asthma. It has been demonstrated that markers of eosinophil activation, including eosinophil cationic protein or eosinophil protein X(EPX), are increased in childhood asthma. Furthermore, they are related to disease activity and are assumed to be helpful in monitoring the treatment effect as urinary EPX(U-EPX) can be obtained easily and in a noninvasive way in children of all ages. Methods : Twenty-five children(22 male and three female) aged $11.87{\pm}3.82$ years with stable asthma were challenged with methacholine and urine was collected from each child during the following periods; before methacholine challenge test(MCT); 0-3 hr after the end of MCT; 4-7 hr after the end of MCT; and 8-24 hr after the end of MCT. Bronchial reactivity was determined by using Dosimeter( Jeager, Germany) with serially diluted methacholine from 0.05 to 25.0 mg. The $FEV_1$ less than 80% of baseline value were classified into positive MCT. U-EPX was measured with a sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay(Pharmacia & Upjohn AB, Uppsala, Sweden). Results were expressed as ${\mu}gEPX/mmol$ creatinine. Results : An early airway response after MCT was associated with an increase of U-EPX excretion for 0-3 hr after methacholine inhalation in comparison with beseline values. Most subjects showed a small increase in U-EPX excretion during late asthmatic response for 4-7 hr, which then decreased to normal level in 8-24 hr. Also, a tendency for a higher increase of U-EPX was associated with a lower threshold of methacholine challenge and a longer duration of asthma. Conclusion : Measurement of EPX in urine is a noninvasive and easy method to assess the severity of airway inflammation in asthmatic children. It may be a helpful index of the events underlying the airway inflammatory responses during nonspecific bronchial challenge, and in monitoring asthma management.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the awareness of basic emergency care by private ambulance drivers. A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 300 private ambulance drivers in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon from February 20 to April 1, 2013. The questionnaire consisted of basic life support related airway management(3 items), respiratory management(9 items), circulation(4 items), consciousness(4 items), and infection control(3 items). The awareness of infection control accounted for 87% and emergency care including airway, breathing, consciousness, and respiration was 60%. The knowledge of emergency care was 15.20(maximum 23.0 points). Consciousness was 2.55(maximum 4.0), airway management was 2.08(maximum 3.0), respiration was 5.35(maximum 9.0), circulation was 2.56(maximum 4.0), and infection control was 2.64(maximum 4.0). In order to improve the quality of private ambulance drivers, it is important to develop the emergency care program and expansion.
