CPR consists of giving cycles of cardiac compressions and breaths. This is designed to replace the normal processes in the heart and lungs, and possibly encourage their return to activity.

How does CPR save people?

When you do CPR, you are performing the work that the heart can no longer do, due to Cardiac Arrest (heart stoppage). Every time the chest is compressed, this forces the blood in the heart round the body, and this keeps blood and oxygen flowing to all parts of the body, if not some. However, CPR and Mouth to mouth alone are not good enough (even though it is better than no action at all). A machine called a defibulator (AED) is required. This machine sends a shock, that will hopefully make the heart beat again.


What happen when cpr is performed on the body?

CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, helps maintain blood circulation and deliver oxygen to the body when a person's heart has stopped beating. By compressing the chest and providing rescue breaths, CPR can help keep vital organs alive until professional medical help arrives. It is crucial to start CPR as soon as possible in cases of cardiac arrest to improve the chances of survival.
