In the 19th century, Doctor H. R. Silvester described a method (The Silvester Method) of artificial respiration in which the patient is laid on their back, and their arms are raised above their head to aid inhalation and then pressed against their chest to aid exhalation.[6] The procedure is repeated sixteen times per minute. This type of artificial respiration is occasionally seen in films made in the early part of the 20th century.
CPR, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, was developed by the American heart association in 1960. Peter Safar and James Elam invented mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. CPR was developed due to the contributions of many people. It was a progression that started in the 18th century with early researchers investigating chest compressions.
Chest compressions combined with artificial respiration, now called CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) was promoted in the late 1950's as an emergency procedure to be used to resuscitate victims of cardiac arrest. It was not widely known until after a CPR training video 'The Pulse of Life' was released in 1962.
Dr Peter Safar is generally credited with being the "Father of CPR".
