Abstract

All Seattle-area cardiologists and 25 per cent of selected other physicians were queried by mail to determine whether they recommended CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training for families of their patients. Two-thirds reported that they advocated training for some patients' families, but only 52 per cent of cardiologists and 37 per cent of the others did so for families of at least half of the patients considered at risk. Physicians who had performed out-of-hospital CPR or had received advanced or recent training were more likely to recommend instruction.
