Résumé / Abstract

Objective: Medical house staff are required to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as part of their job responsabilities. Previously it has been shown that house staff are reductant to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (MMR) in an out of hospital setting. Therefore, whether reluctance to perform MMR extends to the inpatient setting, and, if so, the reasons for this reluctance were investigated. Design: All 74 internal medicine house officers of a large metropolitain hospital responded to presentations of hypothetical inpatient cardiac arrest arrest scenarios to assess their willingness to perform MMR
