Objective To investigate the popularization of cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)knowledge and science popularization needs among urban and rural residents in Tonghai County,Yuxi City,Yunnan Province,so as to explore the establishment of an efficient and appropriate science popularization model.Methods A total of 300 residents aged 15-60 years old were selected from Tonghai County,Yuxi City,Yunnan Province using stratified and simple random sampling methods.A self-designed questionnaire was used to conduct an anonymous questionnaire survey.Results Only 20.3%of Tonghai County residents master CPR skills,and 26.2%of Tonghai County residents have never heard of CPR.There is a statistically significant difference in the awareness rate of CPR between rural residents and non-rural residents(P<0.01).There are differences in residents'age and CPR awareness(P<0.01),the age and CPR are inversely proportional.The residents have a higher willingness to perform chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on strangers,66.2%and 68.6%respectively.63.79%of residents have never attended relevant training.But 92.76%of the people said they were willing to participate in the relevant training when they learned the training news.Conclusion Residents in Tonghai County generally lack knowledge of CPR first aid,but the demand for first aid knowledge of residential CPR is high and the attitude towards rescue is positive.It is recommended that relevant departments increase CPR science popularization and training efforts,and popularize CPR into villages.

This article reported two cases of axillary artery thrombosis in extremely low/very low birth weight infants following the placement of a local arterial catheter, who hospitalized in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical Universityin in April 2023 and August 2022, respectively. Case 1: Before surgery for necrotizing enterocolitis, an arterial catheter was placed in the left axilla of the infant. On the same day, the infant developed cyanosis of the left upper limb and weakened radial artery pulse. Ultrasound examination confirmed the presence of left axillary artery thrombosis. Despite subcutaneous injection of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and plasma infusion, there was no improvement in blood circulation. The infant also exhibited reduced movement in the left upper limb and loss of radial artery pulse. Thrombolytic therapy with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator was administered. Six hours after the treatment, the radial artery pulse became palpable. Thrombolysis was then terminated, and anticoagulation with LMWH was supplied for two weeks. At one year and eight months of age, the infant had a weaker left-hand grip strength compared to the right, but the overall functionality was largely preserved. Case 2: The infant developed late-onset sepsis at 17 days old and had an arterial catheter placed in the axilla. Pale left upper limb was observed in the following day, and the brachial and radial artery pulses were absent. Vascular ultrasound indicated the presence of left axillary artery thrombosis. Anticoagulation therapy with subcutaneous injection of LMWH was provided, along with thrombolysis using urokinase. On the sixth day after thrombolysis, an ultrasound examination showed no thrombus-like echoes. At one year and eight months of age, the development and movement of the affected upper limb became normal.
