Aim: evaluate the efficiency and outcome of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Methodology: One hundred fifty- six cardiopulmonary resuscitation patients of either gender were selected for this prospective, observational study. Advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) techniques were used to survive the patient. Those survived were recalled regularly for 1 year for follow up. Results: Out of 156 cases, males were 90 (57.6%) and females were 66 (42.4%). Out of 156 cases, 18 cardiac arrests occurred in special ward, 26 in general ward, 45 in diagnostic ward, 35 occurred in emergency room and 32 in ICU. Arrests were restored in 18, 23, 41, 32 and 30 cases respectively. Out of this, 17, 19, 39, 29, 27 survived till 1 year follow up respectively. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Maximal survival following CPR and after a year of monitoring. The greatest method to increase the survival percentage following cardiac arrests is to provide ongoing CPR instruction and updates.
