Notes: Younger anesthesia providers (aged 20–30 years) exhibit the highest scores in knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding CPR. Male providers show slightly higher scores in both knowledge and practices compared to their female counterparts. In terms of education, consultants and senior specialists demonstrate superior knowledge and practices. Providers working at Al-Thawra and Al-Kuwait hospitals also scored higher. Single providers had marginally better scores than married ones, and those with 4–6 years of experience achieved the highest knowledge and practice scores. Moreover, frequent and recent training significantly enhances both knowledge and practice scores among anesthesia providers. *Statistically significant at p ≤ 0.05.
