Summary
Successful cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can lead to positive outcome after sudden cardiac arrest. We conducted an interventional study to know the effectiveness of short training of CPR based on these guidelines among the doctors. The participants were requested to fill a questionnaire before and after the training. Their knowledge score was calculated from the answers. Conclusion: Overall knowledge score improved after 90 minutes of short CPR training based on Indian guidelines among the doctors. Cardiac arrest carries a high mortality rate within and outside the hospital.[1] Early initiation of cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been known to improve the survival rates.[2] Successful CPR requires appropriate teamwork and knowledge amongst medical and paramedical staff becomes necessary. The Indian guidelines for CPR have been published which are relatively more practical and feasible for the hospitals in this country as per the facilities available here.[3,4,5]
