응급의학은 여러 가지 질환이나 외상, 사고 등의 원인으로 생명이 위독한 상태에 있는 긴급한 사람을 신속히 진단하고 치료하는것이 주 역할이나, 때로는 사람이 사망하였을경우 이를 다시 살리는 이른바 심폐소생술을 시행함으로써 죽은 사람을 살리는 일도 취급한다. 이러한 행위를 심폐소생술이라 일컫는 이유는, 사람이 죽으면 심장이 멎고 폐를 통한 호흡이 중단되므로 호흡과 심장박동을 인위적으로 다시 소생시켜 주는 시술이기 때문이다. 심폐소생술에는 기본심폐소생술과 전문심폐소생술로 구분한다.

기본인명구조술은 의식이 없는 환자를 발견한 후 구조를 요청하고 기도유지, 구조호흡, 흉부압박을 시행하는 심폐 소생술의 초기단계이다. 이번 호에는 심정지가 의심되는 환자를 발견하였을 때의 행동요령과 심폐소생술에 대하여 알아보고자 한다. 심정지의 발생은 예측이 불가능하며 심정지가 발생한 후 4~6분이 경과하면 치명적인 뇌손상이 발생하므로 환자가 발생한 현장에서부터 목격자에 의한 심폐소생술을 시행함으로써 폐와 심장의 기능을 유지하고, 뇌의 생리학적 사망을 연장시켜 심정지 환자의 생명을 살릴 수 있다. 그러므로 환자발견 현장에서 빠른 시간 내에 심폐소생술을 시행하는 것이 중요하다. 응급의료 선진국에서는 현장에서의 빠른 응급처치로 인해 20%의 생명을 살릴 수 있는 반면, 우리나라는 4%에 불과하다.

Dentists who want to perform sedation must have abilities to control any emergent situation that may occur during treatment procedures. In the 2010 guideline for the use of sedation by dentists, he/she must has valid certifications for basic life support (BLS) and for advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS). The Korean Association of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (KACPR) has made a contract with the American Heart Association for education and certification. From 2004, they have held many courses for BLS and ACLS providers and instructors. The author of this research participated in the above mentioned courses and qualified as a BLS provider, BLS instructor and ACLS provider. The present paper was intended as an introduction to and arrangement of BLS and ACLS courses for health care providers through a year of experience. However, the previous course of the ACLS provider was focused more toward medical doctors. It is necessary to develop a new advanced course for dentists who employ sedation in their medical practices.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate a Self-efficacy-based Basic Life Support (SEBLS) program for high-risk patients' family caregivers on cardiac arrest. The SEBLS program was constructed on the basis of Bandura's self-efficacy resources as well as the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation's '2000 Guidelines for CPR and ECC'. Method: The effect of the SEBLS program on emergency response self-efficacy and emergency response behavior such as BLS(Basic Life Support) knowledge and BLS skill performance was measured by a simulated control group pretest-posttest design. Study subjects were38 high-risk patients' family caregivers(20 experimental subjects and 18 control subjects) whose family patients were admitted to a general hospital in Incheon, Korea. Result: 1. Emergency response self-efficacy was significantly higher in the experimental subjects who participated in the SEBLS program than in the control subjects. (t=8.3102, p=0.0001). 2. For emergency response behavior, BLS knowledge (t=5.6941, p=0.0001) and BLS skill performance (t=27.8281, p=0.0001) was significantly higher in experimental subjects than in control subjects. Conclusion: A SEBLS program can increase emergency response self-efficacy and emergency response behavior, and could be an effective intervention for high-risk patient's family caregivers. Long-term additional studies are needed to determine the lasting effects of the program.
