Abstract:
Resuscitation skills were assessed in a group of 24 anaesthetists of varying experience using 3 pre-determined scenarios. Seventy-nine percent of participants were found to be competent at resuscitation following the guidelines suggested by the Resuscitation Council (UK) in 1989. No one grade of anaesthetist was found to be consistently poor at resuscitation. Anaesthetists by the nature of their jobs may maintain the skills and knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation as well as other groups in the hospital.
