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.

To give the patient a chance of survival2. The patient may be an organ donor and CPR is used to keep the organs Oxygenated3.
