“…The prevalence of outside the hospital cardiac arrest is more than 300,000 people in the United States per year and is the third leading cause of death, and an evaluated 290,000 in-hospital cardiac arrests happen each year in the United States (21,22). Moreover, the in-hospital mortality rate after cardiac arrest was reported at the level of 81.6% in Great Britain (23), 77.7% in the United States (24), 74% in Poland, 59% in Italy (25) and 70% in Sweden.…”

Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been a frequently performed medical intervention that increases the chance of survival of a person stricken by cardiac arrest, and there is an excellent value of diversity in the rate of successful rehabilitation in societies. Methods: A retrospective observational study was carried out. The medical records of all in-hospital and out-hospital cardiac arrest patients who underwent CPR were collected. A total of 587 people with who underwent CPR during two years between January 2017 and June 2018, using a designed form were enrolled. Demographic information, the ward which CPR was committed, hospitalization, the delay before the onset of CPR and time of the day were recorded. Results: The overall success rate of CPR in this study was 25.89%. There was no significant difference in the success rate of CPR between men and women. A comparison of age groups revealed a difference between the success rates of CPR in 14 - 64 years group compared with the group above 64. Analysis of the data revealed no difference between CPR success rates in various seasons. Investigating the occurrence of cardiac arrest and its success rate at the hospital shifting showed a significant difference between the success rate of CPR in the morning shift with the evening shift and night. The dual comparison revealed a significant difference in the success rate of CPR only between the emergency department and intensive care units. Conclusions: The current study revealed a significant difference in age group and location, and did not show any significant success rate of CPR in the presence of witnesses, location of cardiac arrest, season and gender.

Introduction Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major cause of sudden cardiac death which can be prevented by early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). International bodies recommend that basic life support (BLS) skills be taught in schools in order to increase the rate of bystander CPR and reduce mortality from OHCA. We are not aware of any BLS education program for non-healthcare students in Nigeria. This study was to assess the awareness and attitude to acquiring BLS skills among university students. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study among final year university undergraduates using a questionnaire that assessed students' sociodemographic characteristics, awareness of CPR, previous experiences, and attitude to basic life support (BLS). Counts and proportions were compared for the demographic characteristics using Chi-squared and Fisher's exact tests. Results Four hundred and seventy-five students from 15 faculties participated in this study, median age was 22.8 years (interquartile range: 21.2–24.5 years). Majority (82.5%) have heard of CPR, 29.7% have undergone CPR training; 77.3% of those who had been trained were confident that they could perform CPR. Previous CPR training was significantly associated with faculty, year of study and age. Eighty-nine (18.7%) students have witnessed someone die from a trauma. Four hundred and fifty (94.7%) respondents would like to get BLS training, 440 (92.6%) think that CPR training should be included in the school curriculum. Conclusion There is good awareness and positive attitude to the acquisition and practice of cardiopulmonary resuscitation among university students in Nigeria. Few students however, have been trained to administer bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Therefore, there is a need to implement university wide BLS education in Nigeria.

“…5 The motive of CPR is to maintain blood circulation because early CPR is an essential aspect, the layman is the crucial hyperlink in Emergency care. 6 This technique also incorporates mouth to mouth breathing to perfuse the body organs. 7 Being a part of Allied Health Professionals, physical therapists also ethically obligated to implement in their practice safety and risk management measures to ensure patient safety.…”

Objective: To study and relate the level of knowledge and attitude regarding CPR in medical faculty of Karachi. Research Design: This was an observational, cross-sectional survey based study. Duration: December, 2020 to January, 2021. Methodology: This study was conducted in various private and public sector hospitals and private rehabilitation centers in Karachi. This was an observational, cross-sectional, survey based study designed to assess CPR knowledge. Data was collected using a self–structured questionnaire comprising of thirty one close-ended questionnaire having 3parts: Q.1-7 Demographics; Q.8-20 CPR Practices and Q.21-31 Knowledge of CPR. Result: Total Sample of 126 individuals (n=126) was selected for the study. The analysis was done by using SPSS version 22. The P value (>0.05) indicates that the outcomes were insignificant indicating the knowledge of CPR in Karachi. Conclusion: The general awareness regarding CPR was good but ﬁrst aid skills needs improvement. Professional training programs, hands-on workshops, should be conducted to enhance CPR skills, awareness and knowledge among medical faculty.
