What Does PNB Stand For?

PNB stands for Pulseless Not Breathing

PNB, or Pulseless Not Breathing, refers to a critical medical condition characterized by the absence of a detectable pulse and the inability to breathe independently. This state indicates a lack of circulation and oxygenation to vital organs, necessitating immediate resuscitative measures. PNB is often associated with cardiac arrest, requiring prompt intervention to restore effective cardiac function and breathing to prevent irreversible organ damage and maximize the chances of survival.
