Ann Fr Anesth de Réanim. 2009;28:628-633 A3 Simulation training improves health care providers’ skills in the management of obstetrical complications in Democratic Republic of Congo Vicky Lokomba1, Andy Mbangama1, Guy Mukumpuri2, Aline Mulunda3 1Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University Clinics of Kinshasa, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo; 2Maternal Health Division of the National Reproductive Health Program, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo; 3Superior Institute of Medical Technics, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo Correspondence: Vicky Lokomba (vlokomba@yahoo.fr) Background The maternal mortality rate (MMR) in DR Congo, about 846 deaths per 100.000 live births, is one of the highest in the world. Evidence-based simulation A4 From simulation to dissemination: effects of the “school saves lives” intervention Alexandre Mouton1, Adrien Closter1, Lucien Colard1, Manon Collin1, Simon Verdonck2, Denis Ulweling2, Marc Cloes1 1Sport Sciences Department, University of Liege, Liege, Belgium; 2Francophone Belgian Lifesaving Association, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium Correspondence: Alexandre Mouton (alexandre.mouton@uliege.be) Background At the time being, 90 percent of people who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest still die [1]. The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) states that teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of automated external defibrillator (AED) at school, defined as basic life support (BLS), would have a significant impact on survival rate [2-3]. [...]cycles students were able to perform chest compressions close to the international recommendations [6] at T1 (respectively 37.3±6.5mm; 43.3±7.7mm) and T2 (respectively 36.8±7.5mm; 41.4±7.6mm).
