ÖZET Amaç: Çalışmamızda, diş hekimleri ve eczacıların güncel temel yaşam desteği (TYD) bilgi seviyesini belirlemeyi ve verilen TYD eğitimi sonrası bu eğitimin etkinliğini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Diş hekimleri ve eczacılardan oluşan toplam 60 kişilik katılımcılara, Amerikan Kalp Derneği (AHA) ve Avrupa Resusitasyon Konseyi (ERC) 2015 kılavuzları baz alınarak hazırlanan 21 soruluk pretest yöneltildi. Test sonrasında, bir acil tıp uzmanı tarafından bir saat teorik ve bir saat pratik olmak üzere 2 saatlik bir TYD eğitimi verildi. Eğitim dâhilinde TYD, otomatik eksternal defibrilatör, temel ilk yardım bilgileri, temel tıbbi bilgiler anlatıldı. Eğitim sonrası yine aynı 21 soru 30 dk. süresince posttest olarak uygulandı. Eğitim öncesi ve sonrası başarı oranlarının karşılaştırılmasında çift örneklem t test kullanıldı. Bulgular: Diş hekimleri grubunda eğitim öncesi doğru yanıt ortalaması 10,16±2,16 (%95 CI 9,66-10,53) ve başarı yüzdesi %48,4 iken; eğitim sonrası doğru yanıt ortalaması 15,64±2,05 (%95 CI 15,04-16,22) ve başarı yüzdesi %74,5 olarak izlenmiştir (pması 9,53±1,80 (%95 CI 8,89-10,12) ve başarı yüzdesi %45,4 iken, eğitim sonrası doğru yanıt ortalaması 14,53±1,96 (%95 CI 13,85-15,20) ve başarı yüzdesi %69,2 olarak izlenmiştir (ptists and pharmacists and to evaluate the effectiveness of this training after BLS training. Material and Methods: A total of 60 participants consisting of dentists and pharmacists were asked a 21-question pretest based on American Heart Association (AHA) and European Resuscitation Council (ERC) 2015 guidelines. After the test, a 2-hour BLS training was given by an emergency medical specialist, one hour theoretical and one hour practical. In the training, BLS, automatic external defibrillator, basic first aid information, basic medical information was explained. After the training, the same 21 questions were applied as posttest for 30 minutes. A paired sample t test was used to compare the success rates before and after training. Results: While the mean correct response before the education in the dentists group was 10.16 ± 2.16 (95% CI 9.66-10.53) and the success rate was 48.4%; after the training raised up to 15.64 ± 2.05 (95% CI 15.04- 16.22) and the success rate was 74.5% (p

ABSTRACT Objective Quadratus femoris muscle originates from ischial tuberosity and inserts into the quadrate tubercle of femur. Simply quadrate tubercle may be defined to be localized on the intertrochanteric crest. There are only a few more detailed descriptions of its localization. Consequently we have aimed to describe the exact localization of the quadrate tubercle. Material and Methods Morphometric measurements related with quadrate tubercle were performed on 144 adult human femurs. Afterwards proportional calculations between the measured morphometric measurements related with quadrate tubercle were made. Results Mean vertical distance between the most prominent points of greater and lesser trochanters was found as 63.13 mm. Mean vertical distance between the most prominent point of greater trochanter and origin of quadrate tubercle was measured as 21.78 mm. Mean vertical distance between the origin and end of quadrate tubercle was determined as 17.16 mm. Mean vertical distance between the end of quadrate tubercle and most prominent point of lesser trochanter was 24.26 mm. Mean length of femur was measured as 425.47 mm. Origin of quadrate tubercle was meanly found in the upper 35% of the distance between the most prominent points of greater and lesser trochanters and end of quadrate tubercle was meanly found to be located in the upper 62% of the same distance. Conclusion As location of quadrate tubercle hasn’t been discussed in detail yet, we believe that this study will be instructive for further anatomical or clinical studies related with it.
