Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, commonly known as CPR, is one of the most crucial lifesaving techniques used to maintain blood circulation and brain oxygenation when an individual’s heart suddenly stops beating or breathing ceases.
This manual emergency procedure combines chest compressions and rescue breaths to preserve vital organ function until professional medical assistance arrives or automated external defibrillators can be applied to restore normal heart rhythm. Sudden cardiac arrest remains a leading cause of global mortality, and immediate CPR can double or even triple survival chances when performed quickly and correctly. CPR training has expanded from medical personnel to schools, workplaces, and public institutions, emphasizing that early intervention from bystanders is vital in emergencies. Compression-only CPR is now widely taught for untrained rescuers or pandemic-era precautions, allowing effective response without mouth-to-mouth ventilation in many situations.
