Purpose : This study is descriptive correlation research aimed to examine knowledge and performance ability of cardiopulmonary resuscitation of student attending the college and provide basic materials in developing cardiopulmonary resuscitation program. Methods : Data collection was conducted with the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade college students sampled randomly by giving them questionnaire from Sep. 1 to 4, 2008. It used the research instrument used by Choi Hyang Ok(2006) and revised and complemented by the researcher and 200 data excluding questionnaire showing unfaithful responses were used for analysis. Data collected were verified with technical statistics using SPSS/PC(version 12.0), t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results : The results of this study are as follows. 1. Subjects' knowledge score of cardiopulmonary resuscitation was average .40(out of 1) and their performance ability score was average 2.39. 2. In the knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation according to subjects' general characteristics, score was higher between over thirty and below twenty in age and in male subjects by sex and there were statistically significant differences(t=3.069, p=.029). 3. In the knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation related to subjects' cardiopulmonary resuscitation, there were statistically significant differences in such variables as 'have you ever heard about cardiopulmonary resuscitation' (t=3.685, p=.000), 'presence or absence of education of cardiopulmonary resuscitation'(t=3.764, p=.000) and 'experience of observing cardiopulmonary resuscitation'(t=4.747, p=.000). In the performance ability of cardiopulmonary resuscitation by subjects, there were also statistically significant differences in such variables as 'have you ever heard about cardiopulmonary resuscitation' (t=2.269, p=.024), 'presence or absence of education of cardiopulmonary resuscitation' (t=3.541, p=.000) and 'experience of observing cardiopulmonary resuscitation' (t=8.118, p=,000). 4. Relation between the knowledge and the performance ability of cardiopulmonary resuscitation showed positive correlations as the more knowledge, the higher performance ability(r=.570, p=.000). Conclusion : Consequently, it was found that the knowledge and the performance ability of cardiopulmonary resuscitation by subjects were below the average and their levels of knowledge and performance ability were varied. Therefore, if 1 : 1 education with theory and practice considering knowledge and performance ability of each student in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation education with college students is conducted, more lives can be saved by applying cardiopulmonary resuscitation not to be embarrassed when they encounter cardiac arrest case and contribute to the increase of survival of cardiac arrest patients.

We propose a effectiveness of the assistant pad during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and provide basic data for high quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The subjects of the study were 28 students in the emergency department who completed the BLS Health Care-Provider under the experimental study by the randomized crossover design. Data were analyzed by using SPSS 20.0 Version. The results of this study showed that chest compressions using assistant pads decreased pain and fatigue than normal chest compressions, and the depth of chest compressions was deeper than normal depth. The results of this study shows that the use of assistant pads between the one hand and the other hand during cardiopulmonary resuscitation may increase accuracy and depth were improved. Therefore intensive indicator also improved. However, with regard to the use of assistant pads, further studies will be needed to identify the potential for clinical use.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a series of life-saving actions that improve the chances of survival, following cardiac arrest. Successful resuscitation, following cardiac arrest, requires an integrated set of coordinated actions represented by the links in the Chain of Survival. The links include the following: immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of the emergency response system, early CPR with an emphasis on chest compressions, rapid defibrillation, effective advanced life support, and integrated post-cardiac arrest care. The newest development in the CPR guideline is a change in the basic life support sequence of steps from "A-B-C" (Airway, Breathing, Chest compressions) to "C-A-B" (Chest compressions, Airway, Breathing) for adults. Also, "Hands-Only (compression only) CPR" is emphasized for the untrained lay rescuer. On the basis of the strength of the available evidence, there was unanimous support for continuous emphasis on high-quality CPR with compressions of adequate rate and depth, which allows for complete chest recoil, minimizing interruptions in chest compressions and avoiding excessive ventilation. High-quality CPR is the cornerstone of a system of care that can optimize outcomes beyond return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). There is an increased emphasis on physiologic monitoring to optimize CPR quality, and to detect ROSC. A comprehensive, structured, integrated, multidisciplinary system of care should be implemented in a consistent manner for the treatment of post-cardiac arrest care patients. The return to a prior quality and functional state of health is the ultimate goal of a resuscitation system of care.

The study was conducted to verify the effect of basic life support training on the skill ability of police officers. The subjects of this study were 10 experimental group and 10 comparative group with voluntary consent after explaining the theory and significance of the training experiment at the police station located in K. The education program used in this study consists of theoretical education and practical training, and the theoretical education is 60 minutes and the practical training is 30 minutes. The measurement tool for basic resuscitation performance was measured based on the 'CPR and ECG Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care' presented by the American Heart Association. The results are as follows. The experimental group showed higher performance skills than the traditional control group in field confirmation performance skills, primary evaluation performance skills (A, B, C, medical evaluation), and BLS performance skills (heart compression, artificial respiration, medical evaluation) which are the basic resuscitation performance skills. In conclusion, this study confirmed that the theory and practice education program is more effective in improving the clinical performance of police officers than the traditional lectures and practice education, so it is possible to apply this simulation education program to the cardiac arrest patient emergency treatment.
