Regular BLS courses are necessary to improve the knowledge among them and to prepare them to respond to a medical emergency. Knowledge and skills pertaining to BLS are not usually taught in medical schools in India. This study indicates the lack of knowledge among medical students about BLS and the need for improvement and regular update. This study can serve as a guide for policymakers to consider inculcating BLS knowledge into the medical school curriculum in the near future. Vineeth Chandran K, Abraham SV.

Although high procalcitonin (PCT) levels are associated with poor neurological outcomes and increased mortality rates in patients treated with targeted temperature management (TTM) in the postcardiac arrest (CA) period, there are limited data about the correlation between PCT levels and infection. The aim of our study was to assess the relationship of PCT levels in the first 48 hours with early period infections, late period neurological prognosis, and mortality in patients treated with TTM after CA. Serum PCT was measured on admission days 1 and 2. The early onset infection diagnosis before the seventh day in the intensive care unit (ICU) was made according to the criteria of infection centers for disease control and prevention. Mortality and neurologic outcomes were assessed 90 days after CA according to cerebral performance category (CPC) score. There was no statistically significant correlation between early period infection diagnosis and PCT levels at the time of
