Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
CPR is an important lifesaving method that was developed since the twentieth century and it have been improving since then.
CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and is used to revive heart attack victims. The practice of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation dates back to the eighteenth century, while performing chest compressions goes back to the early twentieth century. The term "CPR" emerged in the early 1960s, and the idea became recognized by organizations such as the American Heart Association. Since then, CPR has been taught to millions of people, including grade-school children
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a method that was developed in the early 1960s for restoring the circulation and respiration in a patient who has suffered cardiac arrest, often leading to heart attack. Lack of oxygen to the brain causes loss of consciousness, which then results in abnormal or absent breathing. Brain injury is likely if cardiac arrest goes untreated for more than five minutes. If there is no medical provider around to give quick medical care, the cardiac arrest may lead to brain injury. The only mean is to keep the blood circulating by providing quick CPR. This May help victim stay alive until proper medical care to take over. The history of CPR dates back to the 17th century. It was later on promoted to the public to learn the basic rescue breathing and chest compression. James Otis Elam and Peter Safar is the two researchers who contributed significantly to the development and understanding cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR. Together Elam and Safar developed mouth-to-mouth breathing which is now known as mouth-to-mask ventilation, and head tilt and chin lift method which we still use today (Safar). Since their development, other researchers have been working hard to contribute to it. New technique tools to help improve or supports life.
The mean purpose of CPR is to bring oxygen to the victim's lung, brain and keep blood circulating so oxygen can get
