Abstract:
Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the level of awareness regarding the symptoms of cardiac arrest and preparedness to administer Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) among urban citizens aged 18 to 60 in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Methods: A total of 355 urban citizens were recruited for the study through a questionnaire distributed via Google Forms. The questionnaire included 14 items assessing knowledge of cardiac arrest, attitudes towards emergency situations, and practices related to CPR. Data were analyzed using statistical tools in Microsoft Excel, with emphasis on percentages for results presentation. Results: Preliminary findings indicated that only 45% of participants could correctly identify the symptoms of cardiac arrest, while awareness of CPR techniques was notably low at 32%. A significant correlation was observed between prior CPR training and confidence in performing CPR (p < 0.001). Additionally, individuals who had previously encountered a cardiac arrest situation reported higher awareness levels compared to those who had not (p < 0.005). Conclusion: The study reveals a concerning gap in awareness about cardiac arrest symptoms and CPR training among urban citizens. Targeted educational campaigns are necessary to enhance public knowledge and improve bystander response rates in cardiac emergencies.
