The median participant age was 35 (IQR 29–43) years, 225 (64%) were female and 138 (39%) had clinical experience of less than 5 years. We enrolled 350 HCPs from all 12 MNH clinical departments. The primary outcome of interest was staff member overall performance on the written and practical CPR testing. Two expert observers independently viewed the videos and rated participant performance on a structured data form. Each participant completed a with 25 question multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank CPR test and a practical test using a CPR manikin where the participant was videotaped for 1–2 min. This was a descriptive cross sectional study of a random sample of 350 HCP from all cadres and departments at MNH from October 2015 to March 2016. This study aimed to determine the current level of knowledge on, and ability to perform, CPR among HCP at Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH). In limited resource countries like Tanzania, there is scarce data describing the basic knowledge of CPR among Healthcare providers (HCP). Early and effective CPR increases both survival rate and post-arrest quality of life.
