The problems of formation of professionals in the field of health care are determined by the demands of society towards these specialists; the objective conditions under which they are formed; the personal qualities of the students; the conditions under which they are formed, prepare and are stimulated to self-development and self-improvement. Health care in intensive care sectors is very dynamic, is associated with certain professional responsibilities and requires practical skills from specialists to respond adequately to life-threatening conditions of patients.The purpose of the present study is to determine the practical skills of the students from the "healthcare" field in terms of activities and intensive care for performing resuscitation and behavior during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Material and methods. The study included students from the "Nurse", "Midwife" and "Physician Assistant" majors who are studying at the Faculty of Public Health of the Medical University - Sofia. As part of a research project, cardiopulmonary resuscitation dummies were purchased and conditions were prepared for student training. Two surveys were conducted - before and after the practical training. The training was carried out during the winter semester of the academic year 2022-2023. Results and conclusions. As a result of the practical training, students develop their practical skills for measuring indicators, analyzing the patient's condition and conducting oxygen therapy, intravenous therapy and participation in cardiopulmonary resuscitation activities. Defibrillation skills are significantly improved. The active involvement of students in the intensive care of patients is determined to a significant extent by their training in laboratory conditions using mockups and simulation techniques.
