Background:Medical students are the ones who are counted on to respond promptly by providing CPR in any emergency situation. Although their contribution to effective CPR is crucial, studies have often demonstrated that they have average knowledge and poor skills, as far as international guidelines and recommendations are concerned [5,6] . Objectives: To assess the knowledge, level of confidence and skills of MBBS students towards the technique of hands-only CPR before the training and after training by CBME curriculum and to assess the improvement in knowledge or level of confidence about CPR after training. Methodology:A comparative study was conducted in MGMMC, Indore on 140 1st prof MBBS students of batch 2022. They were selected using simple random sampling by using pre-designed pre- tested semi-structured questionnairefor a period of 6 months (Sept. 2022– Feb 2023) duration. MBBS students of the admission batch of 2022at MGMMC, Indore were included.Students whowere absent, not willing to participate were excluded. Results:Mean pre-test and post-test scores of knowledges among the participants were 3.64 ± 0.43 and 13.89 ± 0.65 respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P value < 0.001). Confidence level of students about knowledge of CPR pre trainingand post training was1.81±0.84 and 3.16±0.93, confidence level of students about technique of administering chest compression pre trainingand post training was 1.67±0.78 and 3.03±0.80 and confidence level about handling a person when it collapses pre training and post training was 1.48±0.63 and2.67±0.8 respectively.A total of 92.14% of the students could place their hands at the proper location and about 72.9% of the students could achieve proper depth of compression on skill assessment manikin. Conclusion:There is improvement in knowledge and selfconfidence regarding CPR and the students develop an acceptable level of skills after the training.
