Definition Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a procedure to support and maintain breathing and circulation on a person who has stopped breathing (respiratory arrest) and/or whose heart has stopped (cardiac arrest). Purpose CPR is performed to restore and maintain breathing and circulation and to provide oxygen and blood flow to the heart, brain, and other vital organs. It should be performed if a person is unconscious and not breathing. Respiratory and cardiac arrest can be caused by allergic reactions, an ineffective heartbeat, asphyxiation, breathing passages that are blocked, choking , drowning, drug reactions or overdoses, electric shock, exposure to cold, severe shock, or trauma. CPR can be performed by trained bystanders or healthcare professionals on infants, children, and adults. It should always be performed by the person on the scene who is most experienced in CPR.

Precautions CPR should never be performed on a healthy person because it can cause serious injury to a beating heart by interfering with normal heartbeats. Description CPR is part of the emergency cardiac care system designed to save lives. Many deaths can be prevented by prompt recognition of the problem and notification of the emergency medical system (EMS), followed by early CPR

return to self care index Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) CPR Techniques Early CPR is an important link in the chain of survival for a victim of sudden cardiac or respiratory arrest. CPR involves a combination of mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing (or other artificial ventilation techniques) and chest compressions. It keeps some oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until appropriate medical treatment can restore normal heart action. Cardiac arrest causes the victim to lose consciousness within seconds. If there is early access to the EMS system (Phone First! Phone Fast!), early CPR, early defibrillation and early advanced care, the person has a chance to survive. CPR techniques include three basic rescue skills, the ABCs of CPR: A irway, B reathing and C irculation. Airway - A key action for successful resuscitation is immediate opening of the airway by positioning the head properly. It is important to remember that the back of the tongue and the epiglottis are the most common causes of airway obstruction in the unconscious victim. Since the tongue, directly, and the epiglottis, indirectly, are attached to the lower jaw, tilting the head back and moving the lower jaw (chin) forward lifts the tongue and the epiglottis from the back of the throat and usually opens the airway. Breathing - When breathing stops, the body has only the oxygen remaining in the lungs and bloodstream. Therefore, when breathing stops, cardiac arrest and death quickly follow. Mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing is the quickest way to get oxygen into the victim's lungs. There is more than enough oxygen in the air you breathe into the victim to supply the victim's needs.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For other meanings of CPR, see CPR (disambiguation) CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an emergency first aid procedure to help someone who has lost their ability to breathe and their pulse, i.e., their noticeable heartbeat. It is a response to a condition known as cardiac arrest , in which heartbeat and breathing have stopped. Cardiac arrest is a condition nearly everyone experiences in the last few minutes of life, after drawing their last breath, and refers to a period in which the heart muscle still has some residual life in it and may sometimes be brought back to normal functioning by emergency techniques. CPR is appropriate for otherwise healthy persons experiencing sudden cardiac death, due perhaps to massive heart attacks or heart rhythm disturbances, and can keep the victims alive until emergency personnel arrive. It is also used effectively for victims of drowning , electrocution or choking, or those suffering from drug or other substance overdoses. CPR is commonly taught to ordinary people who may be the only persons present in the crucial few minutes before emergency personnel are available.

An article on this topic is available in this issue of AFP Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) When is CPR important? CPR may be done when a person stops breathing or the heart stops beating (like when a person has a heart attack). When it's possible that the person may recover, CPR is important. CPR is an option for a patient with an advanced life-threatening illness (like cancer) and who is dying. When the patient reaches the end of life, CPR may not be the option to choose. It's important for the patient, family members and doctor to talk about this issue before the need arises. What is involved in the procedure? During CPR, the chest is pressed on forcefully. Electric stimulation to the chest and special medicines are used. This is usually done for 15 to 30 minutes. A tube may also be put through the mouth or nose into the lung. This tube is then connected to a breathing machine.
