Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the attitude and influencing factors toward basic life support in the dental hygienists. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 218 dental hygienists in Gwangju. The questionnaire consisted of the general characteristics of the subjects and attitude toward basic life support (BLS). The attitude included cognitive belief, behavioral components, and emotional components. The data were analyzed by independent t-test, one-way ANOVA and multiple regression analysis by using IBM SPSS 21.0 program. Results: The cognitive belief, behavioral component, and emotional components of attitude toward BLS had higher scores in those who were between 34-34 years old and had more than 10 years of career. Most of them worked in dental clinic and did not earn the BLS certificate. There were positive correlations between the cognitive belief, behavioral components, and emotional components toward BLS. By the regression analysis, cognitive belief toward BLS was positively associated with educational experience within a year, behavioral components, and emotional components. The behavioral components were associated with working between 5-10 years in dental clinic and the emotional components. Conclusions: The attitude toward BLS in the dental hygienists was low in cognitive belief, behavioral components, and emotional components. Therefore, BLS education must be expanded to the dental hygienists.

This study is to develop a basic life support (BLS) app using the android based smartphone and to evaluate the function of the app. Suggested app contains chest compression feedback function, the map of automated external defibrillator (AED), direct emergency call and the basic knowledge of BLS. Using the accelerometer of the smartphone, we implemented a real-time algorithm that estimates the chest compression depth and rate for high quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The accuracy of algorithm was evaluated by manikin experiment. We made contents which were easy to learn the BLS for the layperson and implemented a function that provides the AED location information based on the user's current location. From the manikin experiment, the chest compression depth and rate were no significant differences between the manikin data and the app's feedback data (p > 0.05). Developed BLS app was uploaded on Google Play Store and it was free to download. We expected that this app is useful to learn the BLS for the layperson.

심폐소생술(cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR)은 심장의 기능이 정지하거나 호흡이 멈추었을 때 인공적으로 혈액을 순환시키고 호흡을 보조해 주는 응급처치이다. 심폐소생술은 기본생명구조술(basic life support, BLS)과 전문소생술(advanced life support, ALS)로 나눌 수 있다. 기본생명구조술은 주요 조직으로 혈류 공급을 강제적으로 하기 위한 흉부압박과 호흡정지 환자에게 구조호흡(rescue breathing) 그리고 심실세동을 개선해 주기 위한 자동제세동기(automated external defibrillator, AED)이 포함된다. 전문소생술의 범주는 성인을 대상으로 하는 고급생명구조술(advanced cardiovascular life support, ACLS)과 소아를 대상으로 하는 소아고급생명구조술(pediatric advanced life support, PALS)이 있다. 치과 치료에 극심한 공포를 가지며, 여러 이유로 치과 진료에 협조를 얻기 어려운 소아를 대상으로 하는 치료환경에서는 약물을 이용한 진정법이 고려된다. 이는 심정지를 포함한 응급상황이 발생할 가능성이 증가하는 이유가 된다. 소아고급생명구조술은 기본생명구조술을 포함하며, 심정지에 이를 수 있는 원인을 호흡, 순환장애 그리고 심인성으로 나누어 대처하는 체계적인 방법을 제시한다. 소아는 성인에 비해 심인성의 원인은 낮지만, 해부학적인 약점으로 인해 호흡이나, 순환장애에 의한 심정지의 가능성은 높다. 따라서, 스트레스를 많이 받은 아이를 치료하거나 진정법을 시행하는 소아치과의사는 소아고급생명구조술을 익힘으로써 응급상황에 적절히 대처할 수 있는 역량을 갖출 수 있으리라 사료된다.
