“Objective: The aim of the study was to identify the most relevant literature on skills, attitude and behaviour of children and young people towards the use of an automated external

defibrillator (AED) and then develop recommendations according to the principles of evidence-based practice. These recommendations were to serve as a basis for educational materials which would ensure that mTOR activity the implementation of AED-training within schools and youth organisations would be a simple process.

Methods: A systematic literature search was performed using a specific research question: “”Are children of different ages able/willing to use an AED after a training compared to another/no training?”". A guideline development panel meeting was organised to formulate practice guidelines. The panel consisted of experts from different fields (medicine, education

and psychology) and representatives of the end users(teachers and youth leaders).

Results: The systematic literature search identified five studies concerning AED skills by children and young people, and two studies concerning the attitudes and behaviour of children and young people towards the use of an AED. The guideline development panel carefully examined the available scientific evidence, took into consideration the skills and attitudes of children and young people, including the psychological consequences of managing a potentially life-saving situation and formulated evidence-based recommendations and good practice points.

Conclusion: Based on these recommendations, an education programme and new educational materials have https://www.selleckchem.com/products/bb-94.html been developed by the Belgian Red Cross-Flanders. In this way school staff and

youth leaders are properly supported to teach 8-Bromo-cAMP chemical structure first aid techniques to children and young people (6-18 years). (C) 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.”
“Introduction: The increased understanding on the impact of partial deafness (PD) with residual low-frequency hearing has led to new hearing rehabilitation strategies using hearing preservation techniques during cochlear implantation with the aim to make use of the combined electric acoustic stimulation (EAS) in the affected ear. As a first report, we describe minor forms of the incomplete cochlear partition Type II (IP-II) involving the apical 1.5 turns, which were found in the majority of our patients presenting with congenital PD. We investigated the hearing preservation rates and hearing outcomes of these patients after EAS cochlear implantation (EAS-CI).

Materials and Methods: We present a review of a case series of 4 children and 1 adult with documented congenital PD. They all underwent audiologic and radiologic assessment for CI. Hearing preservation rates and speech perception outcomes were assessed at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after EAS-CI.
