Attitudes to basic life support among medical students following the 2003 SARS outbreak in Hong Kong()	2005-10-10		.txt	text/plain	4318	177	49	This study seeks to explore whether this epidemic has altered the willingness of Hong Kong medical students to perform basic life support and mouth-to-mouth ventilation during an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The survey was conducted during July and August 2003, approximately two months after Hong Kong was removed from the World Health Organisation SARS Infected Areas list, and was designed to examine student confidence in BLS skills, their perceptions of the risks associated with performing BLS and their willingness to perform BLS in varying situations. Many of the previous studies investigating this issue have indicated that respondees are more reluctant to perform mouth-to-mouth ventilation than chest compressions, and have highlighted rescuers' fears regarding transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in particular as a reason for not performing BLS.	./cache/cord-306749-qetf3uur.txt	./txt/cord-306749-qetf3uur.txt
