CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. It is an emergency lifesaving technique used when someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally.
CPR involves chest compressions to help keep blood flowing to vital organs, especially the brain and heart. In some situations, rescue breaths may also be given.
If someone suddenly collapses and is not breathing normally, call emergency services, get an AED if available, and begin CPR if you are trained.
Learning CPR can help you respond quickly during a life-threatening emergency and potentially save a life.
