2. INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
CARDIO-PULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) IS A TECHNIQUE OF BASIC LIFE SUPPORT
FOR OXYGENATING THE BRAIN AND HEART UNTIL APPROPRIATE DEFINITIVE MEDICAL
TREATMENT CAN RESTORE NORMAL HEART AND VENTILATORY ACTION. CARDIO-
PULMONARY RESUSCITATION TECHNIQUES ARE USED TO ARTIFICIALLY MAINTAIN BOTH
CIRCULATION AND VENTILATION IN PERSONS SUFFERING FROM CARDIAC ARREST.
3. IT INVOLVESIT INVOLVES
EXTERNAL CARDIAC MASSAGE (MANUAL HEART COMPRESSIONS).
ARTIFICIAL VENTILATION BY EITHER MOUTH TO MOUTH, MOUTH TO NOSE OR
MOUTH TO AIRWAY TECHNIQUES.
MANAGEMENT OF FOREIGN BODY OR AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION,
CRICOTHYROIDOTOMY MAY BE NECESSARY TO OPEN THE AIRWAY BEFORE CPR
CAN BE PERFORMED.
