How was CPR founded?

Answer 1

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was founded in the 1960s, stemming from earlier practices of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions. The American Heart Association and other organizations began formalizing CPR techniques to improve survival rates for cardiac arrest victims. Key figures like Dr. Peter Safar and Dr. William Kouwenhoven played significant roles in developing and promoting CPR as a life-saving technique. The first standardized CPR guidelines were published in 1966, leading to widespread training and adoption.
