The effectiveness analysis on systematic first aid skills training to enhance the overall level of hospital rescue

Abstract

Objective To improve the first aid level of clinical staff through the first aid training of basic theory and basic operation skills.To improve the whole hospital emergency response capacity through high simulation first aid exercise and cultivating the spirit of collaboration between the health care works,clinicians and medical technicians.Methods Pediatrics and obstetrics and gynecology excellent backbone physicians respectively participating in four national continuing medical education courses (2010 edition of neonatal resuscitation,pediatric advanced life support,the 2010 edition of the tutorial of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and senior obstetric life support) were dispatched as faculty reserves and responsible for retraining in the hospital.Emergency simulation exercises matching with obstetrics and gynecology characteristics were carry out.Medical staff were assessed before and after training and exercises.Incidence of neonatal asphyxia and neonatal severe asphyxia and the success rate hospital critically ill patients before training (in 2010) and after training (in 2012) were compared to evaluate actual effect through training.Results Basic first aid theory,basic first aid operation skills and first aid simulation exercise scores of the medical staff participating in the training were better than before training(P＜0.01).Compared with pre-training's,the incidence of neonatal asphyxia (including severe asphyxia) was significantly lower (P ＜ 0.01) and the success rate of the hospital critically ill patients improved significantly (P＜0.01).Conclusions First aid simulation exercise matching with basic first aid theory and basic first aid operation skills training was effective method to improve individual and overall hospital emergency comprehensive ability and a viable mode of system first aid training.
