    Au cours des années 15 dernières années, le Québec (Canada) a développé une politique d?accountability - appelée Gestion axée sur les résultats (GAR) - qui touche l?ensemble du secteur de l?éducation obligatoire de cette province. Cette politique se déploie à tous les niveaux du système éducatif (ministère, commissions scolaires et établissements) et met en place de nouveaux outils de planification et de contractualisation, ainsi que des outils statistiques qui permettent de rendre visibles les résultats (académiques) et d?établir des cibles de performances. La GAR implique une visée de changement des pratiques des enseignants pour les rendre plus « efficaces » et ainsi contribuer à réaliser les objectifs des politiques ministérielles : améliorer les taux de diplomation, les taux de réussite, réduire le décrochage scolaire. Dans cet article nous analysons les réactions des enseignants de quatre établissements secondaires face aux demandes de changement des pratiques pédagogiques qui leur sont signifiées par les gestionnaires scolaires. Pour ce faire, nous nous basons sur la typologie des réponses aux politiques éducatives développées par Cynthia Coburn (2004). Notre analyse montre que les réponses les plus fréquentes sont le rejet et l?accommodation, mais aussi le renoncement à certaines pratiques souhaitées, soit des pratiques « empêchées » par la mise en ?uvre de la GAR, un type de réponse qui s?ajoute donc à la typologie de Coburn. Nous montrons aussi que ces réponses et leurs significations varient selon les pratiques concernées par l?injonction institutionnelle mais aussi en fonction du contexte de l?établissement scolaire et des diverses stratégies et configurations d?acteurs que l?on y retrouve

    En el curso de los 15 últimos años, Quebec (Canadá) ha desarrollado una política de accountability - Gestión Basada en Resultados (GBR) ? que concierne a todo el conjunto del sector de la educación obligatoria de esta provincia. Esta política se despliega en todos los niveles del sistema educativo y pone en práctica nuevas herramientas de planificación y de contractualización, así como también herramientas estadísticas que permiten hacer visibles los resultados (académicos) y establecer objetivos de rendimiento. La GBR implica una mirada de cambio de las prácticas del profesorado para hacerlas más ?eficaces? y, así, contribuir a la realización de los objetivos de las políticas ministeriales: mejorar los índices de diplomados, las tasas de logro, reducir el abandono escolar. En este artículo analizamos las reacciones del profesorado de cuatro centros de secundaria a las demandas de cambio de las prácticas pedagógicas que les son indicadas por los gestores escolares. Para ello, nos basamos en una tipología de respuestas a las políticas educativas desarrollada por Cynthia Corbun (2004). Nuestro análisis muestra que las respuestas más frecuentes son el rechazo y el acomodo, pero también la renuncia a ciertas prácticas deseadas, así como las prácticas ?imposibilitadas? por la puesta en marcha de la GBR, un tipo de respuesta que se agrega a la tipología de Corbun. Mostramos que estas respuestas varían según las prácticas establecidas por la organización institucional, también en función del contexto del centro educativo, y de las diversas estrategias y configuraciones de los actores implicados en ello.

    Abstract: Objective: To determine associations between important pre-arrest and intra-arrest prognostic factors and survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources: Medline, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from inception to 4 February 2019. Primary, unpublished data from the United Kingdom National Cardiac Arrest Audit database. Study selection criteria: English language studies that investigated pre-arrest and intra-arrest prognostic factors and survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest. Data extraction: PROGRESS (prognosis research strategy group) recommendations and the CHARMS (critical appraisal and data extraction for systematic reviews of prediction modelling studies) checklist were followed. Risk of bias was assessed by using the QUIPS tool (quality in prognosis studies). The primary analysis pooled associations only if they were adjusted for relevant confounders. The GRADE approach (grading of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation) was used to rate certainty in the evidence. Results: The primary analysis included 23 cohort studies. Of the pre-arrest factors, male sex (odds ratio 0.84, 95% confidence interval 0.73 to 0.95, moderate certainty), age 60 or older (0.50, 0.40 to 0.62, low certainty), active malignancy (0.57, 0.45 to 0.71, high certainty), and history of chronic kidney disease (0.56, 0.40 to 0.78, high certainty) were associated with reduced odds of survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest. Of the intra-arrest factors, witnessed arrest (2.71, 2.17 to 3.38, high certainty), monitored arrest (2.23, 1.41 to 3.52, high certainty), arrest during daytime hours (1.41, 1.20 to 1.66, high certainty), and initial shockable rhythm (5.28, 3.78 to 7.39, high certainty) were associated with increased odds of survival. Intubation during arrest (0.54, 0.42 to 0.70, moderate certainty) and duration of resuscitation of at least 15 minutes (0.12, 0.07 to 0.19, high certainty) were associated with reduced odds of survival. Conclusion: Moderate to high certainty evidence was found for associations of pre-arrest and intra-arrest prognostic factors with survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest.

    <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Cardiac arrest victims most often collapse at home, where only a modest proportion receives life-saving bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation. As many as 40% of all sudden cardiac arrest victims have agonal or abnormal breathing in the first minutes following cardiac arrest. 9-1-1 call takers may wrongly interpret agonal breathing as a sign of life, and not initiate telephone cardiopulmonary resuscitation instructions. Improving 9-1-1 call takers' ability to recognize agonal breathing as a sign of cardiac arrest could result in improved bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation and survival rates for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims.</p> <p>Methods/Design</p> <p>The overall goal of this study is to design and conduct a survey of 9-1-1 call takers in the province of Ontario to better understand the factors associated with the successful identification of cardiac arrest (including patients with agonal breathing) over the phone, and subsequent administration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation instructions to callers. This study will be conducted in three phases using the Theory of Planned Behaviour. In Phase One, we will conduct semi-structured qualitative interviews with a purposeful selection of 9-1-1 call takers from Ontario, and identify common themes and belief categories. In Phase Two, we will use the qualitative interview results to design and pilot a quantitative survey. In Phase Three, a final version of the quantitative survey will be administered via an electronic medium to all registered call takers in the province of Ontario. We will perform qualitative thematic analysis (Phase One) and regression modelling (Phases Two and Three), to determine direct and indirect relationship of behavioural constructs with intentions to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation instructions.</p> <p>Discussion</p> <p>The results of this study will provide valuable insight into the factors associated with the successful recognition of agonal breathing and cardiac arrest by 9-1-1 call takers. This will guide future interventional studies, which may include continuing education and protocol changes, in order to help increase the number of callers appropriately receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation instructions, and save the lives of more cardiac arrest victims.</p> <p>Trial registration</p> <p>Clinicaltrials.gov NCT00848588</p

    A systematic review and meta-analysis of the effect of dispatcher-assisted CPR on outcomes from sudden cardiac arrest in adults and children

    Background: Dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DA-CPR) has been reported in individual studies to significantly increase the rate of bystander CPR and survival from cardiac arrest. Methods: We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of DA-CPR programs on key clinical outcomes following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. We searched the PubMED, EMBASE, CINAHL, ERIC and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases from inception until July 2018. Eligible studies compared systems with and without dispatcher-assisted CPR programs. The results of included studies were classified into 3 categories for the purposes of more accurate analysis: comparison of outcomes in systems with DA-CPR programs, case-based comparison of DA-CPR to bystander CPR, and case-based comparisons of DA-CPR to no CPR before EMS arrival. The GRADE system was used to assess certainty of evidence at an outcome level. We used random-effects models to produce summary effect sizes across all outcomes. Results: Of 5531 citations screened, 33 studies were eligible for inclusion. All included studies were observational. Evidence certainty across all outcomes was assessed as low or very low. In system-level and patient-level comparisons, the provision of DA-CPR compared with no DA-CPR was consistently associated with improved outcome across all analyses. Comparison of DA-CPR to bystander CPR produced conflicting results. Findings were consistent across sensitivity analyses and the pediatric sub-group. Conclusion: These results support the recommendation that dispatchers provide CPR instructions to callers for adults and children with suspected OHCA. Review registration: PROSPERO- CRD42018091427

    Early versus Later Rhythm Analysis in Patients with Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

    Background In a departure from the previous strategy of immediate defibrillation, the 2005 resuscitation guidelines from the American Heart Association–International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation suggested that emergency medical service (EMS) personnel could provide 2 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) before the first analysis of cardiac rhythm. We compared the strategy of a brief period of CPR with early analysis of rhythm with the strategy of a longer period of CPR with delayed analysis of rhythm. Methods We conducted a cluster-randomized trial involving adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest at 10 Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium sites in the United States and Canada. Patients in the early-analysis group were assigned to receive 30 to 60 seconds of EMS-administered CPR and those in the later-analysis group were assigned to receive 180 seconds of CPR, before the initial electrocardiographic analysis. The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge with satisfactory functional status (a modified Rankin scale score of ≤3, on a scale of 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating greater disability). Results We included 9933 patients, of whom 5290 were assigned to early analysis of cardiac rhythm and 4643 to later analysis. A total of 273 patients (5.9%) in the later-analysis group and 310 patients (5.9%) in the early-analysis group met the criteria for the primary outcome, with a cluster-adjusted difference of −0.2 percentage points (95% confidence interval, −1.1 to 0.7; P=0.59). Analyses of the data with adjustment for confounding factors, as well as subgroup analyses, also showed no survival benefit for either study group. Conclusions Among patients who had an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, we found no difference in the outcomes with a brief period, as compared with a longer period, of EMS-administered CPR before the first analysis of cardiac rhythm.

    An evaluation of 9-1-1 calls to assess the effectiveness of dispatch-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) instructions: design and methodology

    <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Cardiac arrest is the leading cause of mortality in Canada, and the overall survival rate for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest rarely exceeds 5%. Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been shown to increase survival for cardiac arrest victims. However, bystander CPR rates remain low in Canada, rarely exceeding 15%, despite various attempts to improve them. Dispatch-assisted CPR instructions have the potential to improve rates of bystander CPR and many Canadian urban communities now offer instructions to callers reporting a victim in cardiac arrest. Dispatch-assisted CPR instructions are recommended by the International Guidelines on Emergency Cardiovascular Care, but their ability to improve cardiac arrest survival remains unclear.</p> <p>Methods/Design</p> <p>The overall goal of this study is to better understand the factors leading to successful dispatch-assisted CPR instructions and to ultimately save the lives of more cardiac arrest patients. The study will utilize a before-after, prospective cohort design to specifically: 1) Determine the ability of 9-1-1 dispatchers to correctly diagnose cardiac arrest; 2) Quantify the frequency and impact of perceived agonal breathing on cardiac arrest diagnosis; 3) Measure the frequency with which dispatch-assisted CPR instructions can be successfully completed; and 4) Measure the impact of dispatch-assisted CPR instructions on bystander CPR and survival rates.</p> <p>The study will be conducted in 19 urban communities in Ontario, Canada. All 9-1-1 calls occurring in the study communities reporting out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in victims 16 years of age or older for which resuscitation was attempted will be eligible. Information will be obtained from 9-1-1 call recordings, paramedic patient care reports, base hospital records, fire medical records and hospital medical records. Victim, caller and system characteristics will be measured in the study communities before the introduction of dispatch-assisted CPR instructions (before group), during the introduction (run-in phase), and following the introduction (after group).</p> <p>Discussion</p> <p>The study will obtain information essential to the development of clinical trials that will test a variety of educational approaches and delivery methods for telephone cardiopulmonary resuscitation instructions. This will be the first study in the world to clearly quantify the impact of dispatch-assisted CPR instructions on survival to hospital discharge for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims.</p> <p>Trial Registration</p> <p>ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00664443</p
