CPR is a lifesaving technique used in emergencies. It is typically used during cardiac arrest. It involves two key components: chest compressions and defibrillation. 

Chest compressions are manually applied to the center of the chest, creating pressure that helps maintain blood circulation to vital organs. This is crucial because, during cardiac arrest, the heart stops pumping blood effectively, and chest compressions can help keep blood flowing until more advanced medical help arrives. 

Defibrillation: It is a lifesaving technique used when the heart stops beating or breathing ceases. The procedure involves:

  • Delivering electric shocks to the heart

  • Analyzing the heart’s rhythm and administering a shock if needed

  • Combining chest compressions and defibrillation to improve survival chances

  • Making CPR an essential emergency skill

  • Providing critical support until medical help arrives

  • Preserving brain function and keeping the heart and lungs working
