Patients who achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) were transported to the emergency department in a mean of 20.35\u2009\u00b1\u20090.93 min and subsequently transferred from the emergency department to the intensive care unit in 95.26\u2009\u00b1\u200911.73 min. The mean post-CPR knowledge score was 50.08\u2009\u00b1\u200913.78 out of 100, indicating important knowledge gaps in essential post-resuscitation care practices. Emergency department personnel had significantly higher knowledge scores than EMS personnel (56.86\u2009\u00b1\u200913.84 vs. 46.87\u2009\u00b1\u200912.56;\n                      <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20096.401,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). The lowest correct response rates were observed for seizure management after CPR and target blood glucose levels after cardiac arrest.
