Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
CPR is an emergency procedure that is useful in many emergencies, for example, heart attack or near drowning. CPR is don because a persons heartbeat has stopped or has stopped breathing. It is performed in an effort to preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person for cardiac arrest.
CPR includes chest compressions at a rate of 100 per minute for artificial circulation. Also, whomever performs CPR much breath by exhaling into the persons mouth or nose for utilizing a device that pushes air into the lungs.
However, CPR is unlikely to restart the heart but its main purpose is to restore flow of oxygenated blood to the brain and heart.It is suppose to delay tissue death and for a successful resuscitation without permanent brain damage. CPR is continued until the person regains return of spontaneous circulation(ROSC) or is declared dead.
