ABSTRACT

Background: Cardiac arrest is a critical medical emergency characterized by the cessation of an effective pulse and the failure to circulate blood, leading to loss of consciousness and the absence of a pulse and blood pressure. It often results in high mortality rates but can be preventable through simple maneuvers and acquired skills, making it a key strategy in reducing cardiac arrest-related mortality. Aim: This study aimed to assess the impact of demonstrating cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on students at Sanskar Educational Trust. Material And Method: A pre- experimental study was conducted with 60 students, employing non-probability purposive sampling. A structured questionnaire was used to evaluate their knowledge and skills in CPR, utilizing both descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: The results revealed a significant enhancement in knowledge and skills among the students following the CPR demonstration, as evidenced by the p-value, affirming the effectiveness of the demonstration in improving their CPR-related knowledge and skills. Conclusion: this study underscores the significance of effective CPR demonstrations in improving preparedness for cardiac arrest situations. Keywords: Effectiveness, demonstration, knowledge and skill, students
