Summary: Cardiac arrest is common in critically ill patients with COVID-19 and often leads to poor survival rates. Simulation training for code teams can help improve outcomes, but there are still challenges in adhering to guidelines and maintaining the efficacy of resuscitation efforts.

Summary: Primary Health Care (PHC) has gained significant attention and achieved satisfactory outcomes in the past few decades. Community Health Worker Programs (CHWPs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are considered essential for incorporating PHC principles into healthcare provision to achieve health for all and sustainable development goals. However, there is evidence of incomplete implementation of PHC principles across national CHWPs in LMICs. This study aimed to identify a set of core/indicator activities that reflect the application of PHC principles by CHWPs in LMICs.

Summary: This randomized clinical trial found that using machine learning model to identify out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in emergency calls did not significantly improve dispatchers' ability to recognize cardiac arrest, despite artificial intelligence surpassing human recognition.

Summary: The integrated community case management (iCCM) strategy has shown some improvement in the coverage of appropriate treatment for childhood illnesses in children under five years of age, but has not shown a significant impact on neonatal mortality. Further research is needed, particularly on infant and under-five mortality rates and quality of care.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the retention level of CPR knowledge and skills between instructor-led and video self-instruction training among nurses in northwestern Nigeria. The results showed no significant differences between the two training methods. Video self-instruction training can be a cost-effective way to train more nurses and improve nursing quality.

Summary: This study compares the attitudes of young adults from Asia and Poland towards different forms of cardiopulmonary resuscitation training and evaluates the innovative concept of an ecological resuscitation manikin. The results show that Asian respondents are more likely to choose traditional training, while Polish respondents prefer a hybrid training option combining online and hands-on training.

Summary: This study evaluated the implementation of an intervention package aimed at strengthening ward-based primary healthcare outreach teams in South Africa. The findings showed that while there were some successes in terms of hiring and training community health workers and outreach team leaders, there were also challenges such as lack of ongoing training and mentoring, shortages of equipment and workspace, and insufficient remuneration for staff.

Summary: Female first responders contribute less to leadership statements and critical decision making in rescue teams compared to males, but a brief gender-specific leadership instruction can effectively improve their leadership behaviors.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the clinical safety and feasibility of a telemedicine and medication delivery service (TMDS) for addressing nighttime healthcare access gaps for children in low-resource settings. The study implemented a TMDS called 'MotoMeds' in Haiti and found that the TMDS model was feasible and associated with high rates of clinical improvement at 10 days.
