title: [Role of anesthesiologists is the education of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in local hospitals].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  In Japanese local hospitals there are not many persons who can give speedy and exact medical treatment in emergency. We investigated a role of anesthesiologists in the education of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in local hospitals.
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 3 doctors and 30 nurses completed the questionnaire about the education of CPR after training of advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) in a local hospital.
  
  
  RESULTS
  It showed that all doctors and nurses have had some anxiety about the emergency treatment of patients and could understand the importance of CPR. Moreover, most of them answered that they wanted to learn ACLS more, and that the training of ACLS simulation was the most impressive.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is important for anesthesiologists to teach ACLS and to promote the spread of ACLS in local hospitals.
