Abstract

Cardiac or respiratory arrests are very common emergencies in adult group as well as in the neonatal period. These emergencies can be easily managed by knowledge and practice of resuscitation skills. Emergency physician requires knowledge and skills for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), basic and advanced life support. Many studies showed that CPR skills of medical graduates and junior physicians are not up to mark due to lack of training. Although, many medical colleges has been already included this in their curriculum but adequate emphasis is still not given on its practical aspects. An interventional study was conducted among third year medical students of Rural Medical College to assess their knowledge about some medical, ethical and legal aspects prior to intervention. The impact of sensitization workshop was analysed by applying appropriate statistical methods). It observed that only 19.8% students were having correct knowledge about the compression ventilation ratio. There was significant improvement in knowledge regarding indications of CPR after the sensitization workshop. The percentage was increased up to 80.2% after the workshop. Students did not have adequate Knowledge regarding legal and ethical aspects of CPR and significant improvement was observed from 22% to 66%. It could conclude that knowledge regarding medical, legal and ethical aspects of CPR was not adequate among third year medical students. However, evaluation of the impact of sensitization workshop on CPR showed significant improvement.
