The Scientific Foundations Of The American Red Cross Cpr Training Standards, Richard N. Bradley
The Scientific Foundations Of The American Red Cross Cpr Training Standards, Richard N. Bradley
Richard N Bradley
The CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training and certification standards established by the ARC (American Red Cross) are based on a scientific review of the best available published literature. Minimal difference are present between the ARC and other national training organizations. These differences result from differing organizational opinions on the best way to implement standards from limited scientific evidence.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation With Rescue Breathing Is Superior To Hands-Only Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation For Children And Infants: Results Of A Systematic Review, Joseph W. Rossano, Richard N. Bradley

Introduction
Evidence supports teaching hands-only CPR for the initial treatment of cardiac arrest in adults. Unlike adults, however, children and infants with cardiac arrest are more likely to have non-cardiac causes.
Hypothesis: The objective of this project was to conduct a structured literature review to answer the question, “In children and infants with cardiac arrest treated in an out-of-hospital setting, does compression-only CPR, alone or with supplemental oxygen, compared to CPR with rescue breathing lead to improved outcomes?”
Results
Sixty-nine records were identified and screened. Fifty-four of these did not meet inclusion/exclusion criteria, leaving fifteen full-text articles that we assessed …
Existing Research Is Inadequate For The Development Of Guidelines For The Basic Lifesupport Management Of Airway Obstruction In Adults: Results Of A Systematic Review, Richard N. Bradley, Joseph W. Rossano, Siobán Kennedy

Introduction
There has been considerable controversy and several changes in guidelines for the basic life support (BLS) management of choking since the introduction of the Heimlich procedure in 1974.
Hypothesis: The objective of this project was to conduct a structured literature review to answer the question, “For adults, either conscious or unconscious, with obstructed airway, does any specific resuscitation techniques compared to currently recommended techniques, lead to different outcomes?”
Results
We identified 475 records after duplicates were removed; we screened all of these and excluded 454. This left 22 full-text articles which we assessed for eligibility; we excluded 19 of …
Bugs In The News: Arbovirus And Hantavirus, Richard N. Bradley
Bugs In The News: Arbovirus And Hantavirus, Richard N. Bradley
Richard N Bradley
The objectives of this presentation are:
(1) Recognize zoonotic infections of public health importance that are currently in the news
(2) Understand the clinical presentations of arbovirus and hantavirus
(3) Describe actions a physician should take when suspecting one of these infections
Aging And Diabetes Mellitus: A Dental Public Health Problem Along The Us-Mexico Border, Frank Cortez Flores
Aging And Diabetes Mellitus: A Dental Public Health Problem Along The Us-Mexico Border, Frank Cortez Flores
Frank Cortez Flores
My primary dental public health interest is highlighting the importance of oral infections in patients with diabetes mellitus. The goal of the diabetes lecture (Oral Health Lectures Series) is to promote the early recognition of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2 DM) and improve the understanding of diabetic risk factors involved in the prevention, surveillance and control of oral infections. Type 2 diabetes, a non-communicable disease, is a major public health problem affecting certain ethnic groups. The theme of the lecture/presentations is awareness and learning. Although space constraints does not allow addressing every infection that is seen in patients with …
