Nurses, very frequently, have to encounter the cases of sudden cardiac arrests. They are the primary emergency care givers in the hospital and thus they need to be knowledgeable and competent enough regarding the usage of defibrillator because the chances of rescue or fatality are dependent on a matter of few minutes.

Result: The results of the present study reveal that considering the knowledge, in pre-test, maximum participants 51 (85 %) had average knowledge, 5 (8.3 %) participants had poor knowledge and 4 (6.7 %) participants had poor knowledge regarding defibrillation. In post-test, maximum participants 34 (56.7 %) had good knowledge, 26 (43.3 %) had average knowledge and no participant, that means 0 (0 %) had poor knowledge regarding defibrillation.
