To ascertain the training and knowledge of paediatric resuscitation amongst all paediatric residents in New Zealand. ⋯ Many junior paediatric staff are inadequately prepared for resuscitating children. We believe improved regular training is required and that the introduction of a nation-wide Advanced Paediatric Life Support course, subsequent to the completion of this survey, will lead to improved standards. Its effectiveness needs to be audited.
