Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique used to re-establish the circulation of oxygenated blood to the heart and brain after a person's heart stops beating. This technique consists of chest compressions and rescue breaths. The chest compressions help in circulating oxygenated blood throughout the body and the rescue breaths provide oxygen to the lungs. CPR can be done by medical professionals, such as EMS personnel, or by the public to save a person's life in an emergency situation. CPR is an essential medical skill and can be used to provide critical care during cardiac arrest, drowning, and shock. Knowing how to perform CPR can help save someone's life in an emergency, so it is important for the public to learn proper CPR protocols.
