During CPR the lungs and heart are stimulated.
During CPR the heart and lungs are stimulated.
The heart and lungs are stimulated to keep you breathing and your blood circulating.
In CPR, you need to keep the lungs working to get oxygen into the body. You need the heart to keep pumping blood.
CPR is successful on the thoracic cavity because the lungs and heart are there. Using CPR the person presses on the heart forcing blood into the body.

It puts unneccessary stress on the lungs and heart.
Use the brachial pulse to to assess the heart rate in an infant during CPR.
CPR is CardioPulmonary Resuscitation. Cardio means "heart". Pulmonary means "breathing". Resuscitation means "revival". When performing CPR, one works to revive a person by activating the heart and lungs.
Chest compressions simulate a natural heartbeat, which pushes blood through the body, and rescue breaths simulate natural breathing, bringing oxygen into your lungs to transfer to the blood circulating the body.
You need to do CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) when or if a person's heart is not beating and pumping blood - which accounts for the C (cardio) portion of CPR. Coincident with the non-pumping heart, the person will stop breathing so CPR also has a "pulmonary", i.e. involving the lungs, component where air is blown into the lungs in conjunction with the the chest compressions and/or defibrillator taking care of "cardio" part.
CPR can cause complications such as broken ribs, punctured lungs, or damage to internal organs due to the force applied during chest compressions. However, the benefits of CPR in saving a life far outweigh the risks of potential injuries. It is important to perform CPR correctly and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
