Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is the combination of artificial respiration and manual artificial circulation that is recommended for the use in cases of cardiac arrest. It requires special supplemental training in the recognition of cardiac arrest and the performance of CPR.
CPR is the combination of mouth to mouth breathing which supplies oxygen to the lungs and chest compression which circulates blood.
Purpose of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation:
To provide oxygen to the brain, heart and to vital organs until appropriate definite medical treatment can restore the heart and ventilatory function.
