Abstract

To assess the knowledge of CPR and awareness of latest changes in BLS new guidelines 2010, a survey was made among the health care providers in Malaysia which included nurses, paramedics, ambulance personnel and ambulance drivers. A worrying number of respondents were not sure of recognizing when to start the CPR. The most troublesome finding of the survey was use of AED and overall lack of awareness with new changes in 2010 guidelines.
