What Does CPR Stand For?
CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
CPR, or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, is an emergency life-saving procedure used when someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped. It involves a combination of chest compressions and rescue breaths to maintain blood flow and oxygenation to vital organs, thereby increasing the chances of survival until advanced medical help can be provided. CPR is a critical skill that can be performed by trained individuals and bystanders alike in cases of cardiac arrest or drowning.
