The interviewer-administered study questionnaire was formulated as per ACEPs Choosing Wisely recommendations for emergency physicians. The study questionnaire was validated, and informed written consent was obtained from all the study participants. Ethical approval was taken from the ethical review board of Poonch Medical College, Azad Kashmir, Pakistan. Data was analyzed by SPSS v23.0 and was presented in tables and charts. \u0000 \u0000Results: Out of 70 emergency physicians, 63 responded and were included in the study (response rate = 90%). More than two-thirds of the physicians (68.3%) had never heard of Choosing Wisely recommendations and more than three-quarters (77.8%) had never discussed it with anybody. Eighteen physicians (28.6%) who knew about it had heard about it from their colleagues. Physicians beliefs about Choosing Wisely campaign were as follows: 28.6% believed it will strongly increase patient safety, 39.7% believed it will somewhat increase the quality of patient care, and 57.1% believed it will have no impact on physicians salary. The most important reason (38.1%) behind ordering a low-value investigation is due to fulfillment of patients request. \u0000 \u0000Conclusion: This study identified emergency physicians low level of familiarity with Choosing Wisely recommendations. With the ever-increasing national health cost, issues of drug resistance and hospital acquired infections, it is important to optimize the health care and expenditure. Educating physicians and patients with Choosing Wisely recommendations may decrease unnecessary investigations and procedures, over use of antibiotics and improve doctor-patient communication.","PeriodicalId":389251,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Journal of Emergency Medicine","volume":"658 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122699573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Khan","doi":"10.5455/sajem/184-1532789417","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5455/sajem/184-1532789417","url":null,"abstract":"BACKGROUND \u0000Basic life support (BLS) remains an essential lifesaving skill that every healthcare provider must have. The outcome of a cardiac arrest improves significantly if it is promptly and properly instituted. Basic life support sessions are done regularly for the doctors to improve the knowledge and skills, but medical students are usually not mandated to have BLS updated regularly and so are not aware of the new guidelines. This study aimed to assess the impact of basic life support training on the knowledge of basic life support among under- graduate medical students. \u0000 \u0000METHODS \u0000One hundred and twenty eight medical students, mostly female (n=85, 66.4%) partici- pated in this interventional study through convenience sampling. A 16-item validated questionnaire extracted from American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines was used to assess the knowledge before and after the BLS training session. \u0000 \u0000RESULTS \u0000The pretest mean score (Standard deviation) came out to be 3.5 (±1.25) with a range of 1-6 out of a total score of 10. The post-test mean score was obtained as 6 (±1.25) with a range of 2-9. Statistically significant ( P < 0.01) difference was obtained which shows that undergraduate medical students' prior knowledge of BLS was poor which improved significantly after the commencement of the BLS training session. \u0000 \u0000CONCLUSION \u0000This study revealed that the BLS training session significantly increased the knowledge of BLS amongst the medical students. It is therefore important that BLS training should not only be incorporated in the undergraduate curriculum of medical students but there should be multiple refresher courses on the subject to update the knowledge of BLS to be relevant and up to date.","PeriodicalId":389251,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Journal of Emergency Medicine","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131412060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
