Abstract
Introduction: CPR is a very vital implementation in cases of cardiac arrest. The occurrence of cardiac arrest is influenced by several factors one of cause is drowning. Pool lifeguard is one of the jobs that has the potential to find cases of cardiac arrest but the majority of them have never received CPR training. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training on knowledge, attitudes and practices on the management of cardiac arrest. Objective: To determine the effect of pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training on knowledge, attitudes and practices on the management of cardiac arrest. Methods: This study uses a pre-experimental design with one group pretest-posttest design. The sampling technique uses total sampling of 10 pools lifeguards of Metro swimming pool, Kepanjen. Research conducted in May 16-17 2019 at Kepanjen Metro Swimming Pool. The independent variable is Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training and the dependent variable is the knowledge, attitude, and practice of cardiac arrest management. Results: Statistical tests using the Wilcoxon Test with result variable knowledge p value = 0.002; attitude p value = 0.007; and practice p value = 0.004. All three variables show the effect of CPR training with increase in knowledge, attitudes and practices in pool guards. Limitation of this study is time for evaluation too fast, only one day away from research. Conclusion: Several things that influence the results of this study are information exposure, experience, education level, body mass index (BMI), and gender. It is hoped that pool lifeguard can apply first-aid cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to drowning victims

Cardiac arrest is a sudden loss of heart function, which can occur in someone who is diagnosed with heart disease or not
The results of this study indicate that pulmonary resuscitation training (CPR) provided with a simple and practical demonstration process is easier to remember and do by respondents
All three variables show the effect of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training with increase in knowledge, attitudes and practices in pool guards
Summary
Cardiac arrest is a sudden loss of heart function, which can occur in someone who is diagnosed with heart disease or not. A heart attack is an emergency that can cause cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest (Jamil, 2010). Based on research in European countries, cardiac arrest cases are one of the causes of death with an incidence of around 700,000 cases each year. According to research in the United States, heart disease is the number one killer. For the number of patients with cardiac arrest in Indonesia each year around 10,000 residents. According to (Ferianto & Rini, 2016) data have been obtained as many as 57 cases of cardiac arrest in Malang and among them there were 6 victims who were caused by drowning
