What happens if you give CPR to someone who is alive?

NO adverse effects have been reported. Based on the available evidence, it appears that the fear of doing harm by giving chest compressions to some who has no signs of life, but has a beating heart, is unfounded.

Will I do harm if I give chest compressions to someone with a pulse?

There is very little data in this area however you are highly unlikely to do harm. One study has shown that patients who were defibrillated and had immediate CPR for 2 minutes after the shock, regardless of whether a pulse was present or not, were no more likely to have complications. In addition, it is recommended in pediatric resuscitation and common practice in critical care settings for CPR to be given to patients who have a slow heart rate. NO adverse effects have been reported. Based on the available evidence, it appears that the fear of doing harm by giving chest compressions to some who has no signs of life, but has a beating heart, is unfounded.

The guidelines now recommend that full CPR be given to all those requiring resuscitation. What about victims who may not be breathing but have a pulse?

To determine the need for only rescue breathing you would need to be able to check for a pulse. There is reasonable evidence that rescuers are no more likely to be able to correctly determine if a pulse is present than simply tossing a coin. Accordingly Resuscitation councils all around the world removed the pulse check in 2000. Epidemiological data would suggest that the vast majority of victims requiring resuscitation will be in CARDIAC ARREST Cessation of heart action recognised by the absence of response, absence of normal breathing and absence of movement. (ARC)" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0, 66, 136); border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; text-decoration-line: none !important;">cardiac arrest – thus requiring full CPR. Furthermore only about half of the victims requiring CPR get any resuscitation before an ambulance arrives. Thus it was considered of greater benefit overall that anyone who is not responsive and not breathing normally should be given CPR rather than not receiving any compressions because the rescuer thought the victim had a pulse. This is very much the case as there is no reliable way for the rescuer to detect a pulse. COMPRESSIONS ARE VITAL.

For good governance and democratic leadership in Nigeria, universities must address the issue of examination malpractice. We need to assure that those who claim university degrees when they run for office or seek leadership positions have exercised integrity in pursuit of their degrees and that they have the knowledge base they claim to have. This presentation will report results of a research project in the Faculty of Education, University of Calabar, Calabar, Nigeria. Students were asked to answer anonymously, in writing, questions about their knowledge of and/or involvement in examination malpractice. Focus group discussions were held among faculty concerning their knowledge of examination malpractice and their observations. Reports of malpractice on which the university has taken action during the past two years were examined. The students’ writing was coded and analyzed for patterns and themes. These themes aligned with the themes of focus group discussions and official reports of malpractice. The research was conducted in agreement with Hendricks, Young-Jones and Foutch’s (2011) assertion: “If professors knew why students cheat and how to prevent the ‘need’ to be dishonest, students would benefit more from their classes….” Results do shed light on students’ perspectives, including their experience of high degrees of pressure. Key Words: Examination malpractice, cheating, academic integrity, qualitative research, governance, Nigeria.
