3. What is CPR?
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an
emergency procedure that combines chest
compressions often with artificial ventilation in an
effort to manually preserve intact brain function until
further measures are taken to restore spontaneous
blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in
cardiac arrest.
4. Intended Audience
❏ Early Childhood Educators
❏ High School Teachers
❏ Enthused Individuals
❏ Principals and Vice- Principals
❏ Instructors/Lecturers
❏ College Professors
5. Why is CPR important?
Keeps the blood flow active –
even partially – extends the
opportunity for a successful
resuscitation once trained
medical staff arrive on site.
6. Heart Attack vs Cardiac Arrest
❖ Heart Attack
A heart attack occurs when a
blocked artery prevents oxygen-rich
blood from reaching a section of the
heart. If the blocked artery is not
reopened quickly, the part of the
heart normally nourished by that
artery begins to die. The longer a
person goes without treatment, the
greater the damage.
❖ Cardiac Arrest
Cardiac arrest occurs suddenly
and often without warning. It is
triggered by an electrical
malfunction in the heart that
causes an irregular heartbeat
(arrhythmia). With its pumping
action disrupted, the heart
cannot pump blood to the brain,
lungs and other organs.
7. Gender Difference: Men vs Women
According to a study released by the Resuscitation
Science Symposium, men are more likely to receive
bystander CPR in public locations compared to
women.
● Women and men receive similar CPR assistance
within the home, but in public 45 percent of men
received assistance compared to only 39 percent
of women.
● Men were 1.23 times more likely to receive
bystander CPR in public, and their chance of
survival was 23 percent higher compared to
women.

8. What is a Defribrillator?
A defibrillator is a machine
that delivers a controlled
amount of electric current
(called ‘countershock’ in
medical lingo) to the heart. A
defibrillator is used when the
heartbeat of the patient is
erratic, or out of rhythm.
9. Procedural Order of CPR
The American
Heart
Association uses
the letters C-A-B
(compressions,
airway,
breathing) to
help people
remember the
order to perform
the steps of CPR.
