Abstract

Twenty-four of 53 hospital consultants responded to an offer to attend a resuscitation training course. Fourteen of them had never had resuscitation training. Their performance of basic life-support was assessed before and after training according to the Resuscitation Council UK recommendations. Their initial performance of basic life-support on a manikin was extremely poor. One hour of training and practice resulted in statistically significant improvements.
