CPR (CardioPulmonary Resuscitation): is the compression of the chest. The aims of this is to:
1. Supply blood to the brain and all around the body.
2. To deliver oxygen to the brain and body (which the body needs to survive).
3. To keep blood pressure up inside the body.
If successful, a person may "come around" or "wake up".
Artificial Respiration (also known as: "mouth to mouth" or "the kiss of life"): Is the process of breathing into the lungs of an unconscious person via the mouth (blowing air into the mouth of an unconscious person). The aims of this is to:
1. To keep the oxygen levels up inside the body.
2. Deliver oxygen in the body so that it can be transported to the brain and all around the body.
Again, if successful, a person may "come around"
