Rupture of the main bronchus followed by blunt chest trauma is comparatively very rare. Early recognition of bronchial rupture and emergency thoracostomy and management is essential for reducing of morbidity and mortality and late complications. This case was 11 years old female who was a primary school student. The patient was sustained a crushing injury to her right hemithorax by traffic accident and had been taken emergency closed thoracostomy at her second intercostal space, midclavicular line at emergency room. In the course of the next 2 hours, the girl`s condition remained critical with tension pneumothorax and abnormal arterial blood gas analysis. Induction of anesthesia started 3 hours after the accident. During the general anesthesia, cardiac arrest was occurred and cardiac resuscitation was performed. Right upper lobectomy and end-to-end anastomosis of ruptured right main bronchus was performed. Postoperative course was satisfactory.

In a dental treatment, a dentist has to know the possibility to happen all kinds of the emergency and to prepare for managing that situation. Especially, the cardiac arrest is the most serious emergent problem. If the accident were happened, most dentists got embarrassed. The American Heart Association (AHA) is offering the Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiopulmonary Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) programs for the healthcare who need to prepare the life threatening situation. The PALS is specialized to someone who participate in pediatric health-care field. This program is composed of three major emergency problems, such as respiratory emergencies, shock and cardiac arrests. The main concepts of the PALS are early recognition and systemic team approach. The purpose of this study was to introduce about PALS and to prepare response system for emergencies in the dental environment.

Background: The phenomenon known as the "weekend effect" impacts various medical disciplines. We compared outcomes between regular hours and off hours to investigate the presence of the weekend effect in extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Methods: Between January 2018 and December 2020, 159 patients at our center were treated with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiac arrest. We assessed the time required for ECMO preparation, the rate of successful weaning, and the rate of in-hospital mortality. These factors were compared among regular hours ("daytime": weekdays from 7:00 AM-7:00 PM), off hours on weekdays ("nighttime": weekdays from 7:00 PM-7:00 AM), and off hours on weekends and holidays ("weekend": Fridays at 7:00 PM to Mondays at 7:00 AM). Results: The time from the recognition of cardiac arrest to the arrival of the ECMO team was shortest for the daytime group and longest for those treated over the weekend (daytime, 10.0 minutes; nighttime, 12.5 minutes; weekend, 15.0 minutes; p=0.064). The time from the ECMO team's arrival to ECMO initiation was shortest for the daytime and longest for the nighttime group (daytime, 13.0 minutes; nighttime, 18.5 minutes; weekend, 14.0 minutes; p=0.028). No significant difference was observed in the rate of successful ECMO weaning (daytime, 48.3%; nighttime, 39.5%; weekend, 36.1%; p=0.375). Conclusion: In situations involving CPR, the time to arrival of the ECMO team was longer during off hours. Furthermore, ECMO insertion required more time at night than during the other periods. These findings warrant specific training in decision-making and emergent ECMO insertion.

Purpose: Bystander CPR has demonstrated improved survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of CPR education in the rural community. Method: One hundred eighty-nine rural laypersons (105 in the experimental group and 84 in the control group) participated in this study. In the experimental group, questionnaires were completed after participating in a small group BLS (Basic Life Support) course. In the control group questionnaires were collected from two rural health service centers. Data were analysed using $X^2$test, independent t-test and paired t-test. Result: There were significant differences in barriers to performing CPR, attitude and intention toward CPR and necessity recognition between the two groups. Conclusion: The proportion of positive attitudes toward CPR and willingness to perform CPR was higher in the experimental group than the control group. CPR education increased anxiety of being sued because of a bad outcome. For future CPR education for laypersons, the reluctance of bystanders to perform CPR should be reconsidered and CPR education should be extended to the rural community.

This study was attempted to provide basic data develop CPR training program for layperson by looking into layperson's recognition and attitude of execution of CPR and to prepare for underlying data in drawing up training policy and suggesting relevant legislation so that trained laypersons can positively perform rescue activities. The survey was done from August 20 to September 20, 2007. Total Subjects in this study were 78. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS Program. The summary of the research is as follows : First, to the question of whether or not the recognition or performance of CPR is universal within the country, 82.1% of respondents gave a negative answer as 'No', The most reason was found to be 'Poor training and P.R. of CPR' accounting for 50.1%, 94.8% of the whole respondents answered that CPR training is necessary. As plan for activatin of CPR training, they answered that top priority shall be given to compulsory school training(79.5%). Secondly, when respondents observed their family's cardic 84.6% of them answered that they would conduct CPR but when they observed other's cardiac arrest, just 41.7% of them answered it. As an effective CPR activation plan, the most answer was training and P.R. of CPR as 79.5%. This study suggests that laypersons high perception of the effectiveness of the CPR and that they wound be willing to provide CPR in a medical emergency.

굴기능부전증후군은 매우 드물지만 신생아에서도 발생할 수 있으며 소아 환자의 경우 대부분 선천심장병이 있거나 심장수술 후에 발생한다. 그러나 이와 같은 심질환의 선행 요인이 없는 신생아에서도 발생할 수 있기 때문에 이에 대한 인지가 필요하다. 굴기능부전증후군은 대부분 특발성으로 발생하며 증상도 다양하고 24시간 심전도 검사상에서도 다양한 형태로 관찰된다. 본 증례에서는 초극소저체중출생아에서 선천심장병 없이 발생한 굴기능부전증후군에 대해 보고하였다. 환아는 심전도상 굴느린맥과 함께 심방세동이 동반된 느린맥과 빠른맥이 반복되어 관찰되었으며 무호흡, 산소포화도의 저하, 청색증의 징후를 나타냈다. 증상이 있는 굴기능부전증후군의 경우 대부분 심장박동조율기의 삽입이 필요하나 본 환아는 당시 체중 750 g으로 심장박동조율기의 삽입에 실패하여 약물 치료를 시작하였다. Isoproterenol과 atropine으로 치료하면서 환아의 체중이 1,500 g을 넘어서자 증상과 심전도상의 호전을 보였다. 향후 본 환아에서처럼 심장박동조율기의 삽입이 어려운 소아 환자의 경우에 대한 치료 체계에 대해 많은 연구가 필요하다.

Since most of the first witnesses of cardiac arrest in clinical settings are nurses, the ability to perform CPR is important. The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for developing education that strengthens CPR performance in the future by examining inactive nurses' CPR knowledge, attitude, performance confidence, device discomfort, continued use intention, and educational achievement. The final subjects of this study were 88 inactive nurses residing in B city. The study period was from June 23, 2020 to December 24, 2020. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation using SPSS WIN 24.0 program. After obtaining the subject's consent for the study, an inactive nurse who understood the purpose of the study and voluntarily consented to the study participated. To investigate the perception of experience, the subjects watched 360-degree virtual reality contents about CPR in the hospital using HMD. The data of this study were analyzed using SPSS WIN 22.0.program. As a result of this 360-degree study on CPR in the hospital, the average score for the inactive nurses on CPR knowledge was 12.70±3.43, the average score for performance confidence was 6.04±2.45, and the average score for attitude was 4.63±0.80. As a result of experience recognition of 360-degree virtual reality contents for CPR in hospitals, the average score for device discomfort was 4.01±0.94, the average score for continued use intention was 2.07±0.85, and the average score for educational achievement was 2.11±0.79. As a result of correlation analysis, educational achievement and continued use intention were significantly positively correlated (r=.77, p<.001). Based on the results of this study, in order to strengthen the CPR performance capability of inactive nurses in emergency situations, it is necessary to increase CPR knowledge and confidence in performing CPR, and to cultivate a positive attitude toward performing CPR. In addition, it is necessary to implement CPR simulation education based on patient cases by applying content that considers educational achievement and continuous use intention.
