Knowledge, attitude, practice, and associated factors of physicians towards cardiopulmonary resuscitation at a tertiary hospital in Ethiopia

The results demonstrate suboptimal CPR competency among physicians' representatives at a tertiary hospital in Eastern Ethiopia. Taking CPR training and being a specialist were found to have an effect on being competent in CPR. Participants reported positive attitudes toward doing CPR. A system of regular, updated refresher training for physicians should be implemented to maintain CPR competencies. Hospitals should also be equipped with materials and drugs needed for CPR.
