Cardiopulmonary arrest can be classified into two main types: cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest. Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops beating effectively, leading to a cessation of blood flow, often due to arrhythmias or heart conditions. Respiratory arrest, on the other hand, results from the inability to breathe, which can be caused by choking, drowning, or severe respiratory illnesses. Additionally, there is asystole, a form of cardiac arrest characterized by the absence of electrical activity in the heart, and pulseless electrical activity (PEA), where the heart shows electrical activity but fails to pump blood effectively.
