CPR and First Aid (Subscribe)

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), is emergency first aid for an unconscious person on whom breathing and pulse cannot be detected.

The medical term for this condition is cardiac arrest or, if the patient still has a pulse, respiratory arrest (the combined term cardiorespiratory arrest is also used). The most common treatable cause of cardiac arrest outside of a hospital is a heart attack leading to a heart rhythm disturbance. CPR can be used for cardiac or respiratory arrest due to drowning, drug overdoses and poisoning, electrocution and any other conditions featuring similar symptoms.
