Abstract Background: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating. It consists of chest compressions with artificial ventilation or mouth to mouth effort to restore blood circulation and breathing in a person who is suffering from cardiac arrest. Trekking involves physical exertion, altitude changes and environmental risks thus raising chances of cardiovascular complications. As per as trekking is concern there is lack of medical resources available at the time of trekking that is why it is necessary to create awareness of CPR in young trekkers in order to make the trekking environment safe.
Objective: To assess the level of awareness about cardiopulmonary resuscitation among young trekkers and identify the need of CPR training and education among young trekkers.
Methodology: A self-made questionnaire was used for survey-based study design with convenient sampling of 100 trekkers in and around Pune.
Results: Result were analyzed for 100 trekkers aged between 18-35years participated in the study, of which 55% were Males and 45% were Females.73%-76% trekkers are aware about cardiopulmonary resuscitation but formal training and confidence are lacking. AED knowledge and usage are especially low.
Conclusion: This study represents that the general awareness of CPR among young trekkers is high, there are gaps in formal training, confidence, and preparedness. The study strongly supports the need for mandatory CPR training and better access to CPR resources for trekkers to improve safety in remote and high-altitude environments.
