Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

Attempting to restart breathing and heartbeat for someone whose breathing and pulse appear to have stopped.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) employs chest compressions in a sequential pattern with artificial respiration to restore or maintain weak breathing and heartbeat. Both the U.S. Public Health Service and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that parents receive training in such first aid techniques from the American Red Cross, YMCA, or other community agency.
