opioid overdose prevention programs providing naloxone to Laypersons united states 2014
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, 2015Co-Authors: Eliza Wheeler, Stephen T Jones, Michael K Gilbert, Peter J DavidsonAbstract:Drug overdose deaths in the United States have more than doubled since 1999. During 2013, 43,982 drug overdose deaths (unintentional, intentional [suicide or homicide], or undetermined intent) were reported. Among these, 16,235 (37%) were associated with prescription opioid analgesics (e.g., oxycodone and hydrocodone) and 8,257 (19%) with heroin. For many years, community-based programs have offered opioid overdose prevention services to Laypersons who might witness an overdose, including persons who use drugs, their families and friends, and service providers. Since 1996, an increasing number of programs provide Laypersons with training and kits containing the opioid antagonist naloxone hydrochloride (naloxone) to reverse the potentially fatal respiratory depression caused by heroin and other opioids. In July 2014, the Harm Reduction Coalition (HRC), a national advocacy and capacity-building organization, surveyed 140 managers of organizations in the United States known to provide naloxone kits to Laypersons. Managers at 136 organizations completed the survey, reporting on the amount of naloxone distributed, overdose reversals by bystanders, and other program data for 644 sites that were providing naloxone kits to Laypersons as of June 2014. From 1996 through June 2014, surveyed organizations provided naloxone kits to 152,283 Laypersons and received reports of 26,463 overdose reversals. Providing opioid overdose training and naloxone kits to Laypersons who might witness an opioid overdose can help reduce opioid overdose mortality. Language: en

association of state level cpr training initiatives with Layperson cpr knowledge in the united states
Resuscitation, 2019Co-Authors: Tyler D Alexander, Shaun K Mcgovern, Marion Leary, Benjamin S Abella, Audrey L BlewerAbstract:Abstract Study aim Recent work has demonstrated low rates of Layperson CPR training across the US. In an attempt to increase rates, some states passed legislation that requires CPR training before high school graduation. We hypothesized laypeople in states with required training would exhibit a greater likelihood of being currently trained in CPR when compared with laypeople in states without required CPR training. Methods We used a previously conducted nationwide cross-sectional random-digit dial survey of the US adult population (09/2015–11/2015). Survey weighted descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used to assess the primary association of likelihood of CPR training and required CPR training by graduation. Results Of the 9022 participants, 677 healthcare workers were excluded. Among those living in states with required training, 17% of Laypersons were currently trained, while 14% of Laypersons in states without required training were currently trained (p Conclusions Individuals were more likely to be currently trained in CPR in states with mandatory CPR training for high school graduation, suggesting a need for additional research on this public policy.

the association of Layperson characteristics with the quality of simulated cardiopulmonary resuscitation performance
World journal of emergency medicine, 2017Co-Authors: Marion Leary, Audrey L Blewer, David G Buckler, Daniel J Ikeda, Daiane A Saraiva, Robert A Berg, Vinay Nadkarni, Benjamin S AbellaAbstract:BACKGROUND Few studies have examined the association of Layperson characteristics with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) provision. Previous studies suggested provider characteristics, including age and gender, were associated with CPR quality, particularly chest compression (CC) depth. We sought to determine the association of subject characteristics, including age and gender with Layperson CPR quality during an unannounced simulated CPR event. We hypothesized shallower CC depth in females, and older-aged subjects. METHODS As part of a larger multicenter randomized controlled trial of CPR training for cardiac patients' caregivers, CPR skills were assessed 6 months after training. We analyzed associations between subject characteristics and CC rate, CC depth and no-flow time. Each variable was analyzed independently; significant predictors determined via univariate analysis were assessed in a multivariate regression model. RESULTS A total of 521 Laypersons completed a 6-month CPR skills assessment and were included in the analysis. Mean age was 51.8±13.7 years, 75% were female, 57% were Caucasian. Overall, mean CC rate was 88.5±25.0 per minute, CC depth was 50.9±2.0 mm, and mean no-flow time was 15.9±2.7 sec/min. CC depth decreased significantly in subjects >62 years (P 62 years and female gender are associated with shallower CC depth.

abstract 278 the association of gender and age with the quality of Layperson cpr performance
Circulation, 2014Co-Authors: Marion Leary, Benjamin S Abella, David G Buckler, Amit K Agarwal, Audrey L BlewerAbstract:Background: Clinical investigations have suggested that gender is associated with the quality of CPR, particularly chest compression (CC) depth, when performed by healthcare providers. Other studies have shown that performing CC depth >50 mm may be difficult in clinical practice, and may depend on provider characteristics that impact strength. Few studies have examined the association of gender and age with Layperson CPR. Objective: We sought to determine the association of gender and age on the quality of CPR performed by Laypersons during simulated CPR performance. We hypothesize that female gender and increasing age may be associated with shallower CC depth. Methods: In a secondary analysis of a multicenter trial of CPR training for cardiac patient caregivers, CPR skills were assessed 6 months after training. We analyzed the association of subject age and gender with CC rate, depth and no-flow time. CPR metrics were captured using a CPR skill-recorder manikin. Each variable was analyzed independently, then via a multivariable regression model to adjust for confounders such as BMI. Results: Between 7/2012-4/2014, 401 Laypersons completed a CPR assessment. Mean age was 51.5±14.0 years, 74% were female, and 50% had a high school diploma/GED. Overall, mean CC depth was 43.8±14.2 mm, mean rate was 87.9±14.2 per min, and mean no-flow time per min was 7.5±11.0 sec. Male subjects performed deeper CC than female subjects (48.2±1.2 v. 42.2±0.7, p Conclusions: We found that female gender is associated with shallower CC depth and this difference was not confounded by BMI. Additionally, as lay providers increased in age, their CC depth decreased.
