When all electricity in the heart has ceased, the heart is in a condition called asystole. CPR can be used to revive victims of the first condition when a defibrillator is not available. CPR must be used for the second condition. The components of CPR are used in other procedures. CPR style breaths are used in rescue breathing.

What about failed CPR?
As a first responder, we always perform CPR if the situation calls for it. We may never know if the CPR we performed was able to save the life or not. Depending on the medical emergency, there may be no chance for recovery. CPR will not always save a life, so if it is not able to it is OK. We will always perform CPR if the situation warrants and if it fails it is OK, We did our part to give the person the chance to be saved by our prompt response.
