    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Education
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a critical life-saving procedure.
    • Family training in CPR can improve patient outcomes during emergencies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the extent to which physicians recommend CPR training for patients' families.
    • To identify factors influencing physicians' recommendations for CPR training.

    Main Methods:

    • A mail survey was conducted among Seattle-area cardiologists and other physicians.
    • Physicians were asked about their recommendations for CPR training for at-risk patients' families.

    Main Results:

    • Two-thirds of physicians advocated for CPR training for some families.
    • Cardiologists (52%) and other physicians (37%) recommended training for at least half of at-risk patients.
    • Physicians with recent or advanced CPR training or experience with out-of-hospital CPR were more likely to recommend training.

    Conclusions:

    • Physician recommendations for family CPR training vary.
    • Physician experience and training influence the likelihood of recommending CPR instruction.
