DEFINE: CPR C ardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) consists of mouth-to-mouth respiration and chest compression. CPR allows oxygenated blood to circulate to vital organs such as the brain and heart. CPR can keep a person alive until more advanced procedures (such as defibrillation - an electric shock to the chest) can treat the cardiac arrest. CPR started by a bystander doubles the likelihood of survival for victims of cardiac arrest. RETURN TO MAIN PAGE

Information from Your Family Doctor End-of-Life Care: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) When is CPR important? CPR may be done when a person stops breathing or the heart stops beating (like when a person has a heart attack). When it's possible that the person may recover, CPR is important. However, when a patient has an advanced life-threatening illness (such as cancer) and is dying, CPR may not be the option to choose. It's important for the patient, family members and doctor to talk about this issue before the need arises. What is involved in the procedure? During CPR, the chest is pressed on forcefully. Electric stimulation to the chest and special medicines are sometimes used. This is usually done for 15 to 30 minutes. A tube may also be put through the mouth or nose into the lung. This tube is then connected to a breathing machine. What happens if CPR isn't done? A person will become unconscious almost immediately and will die in 5 to 10 minutes. What are the benefits of CPR? For a patient with an advanced life-threatening illness who is dying, there are really no benefits. CPR may prolong life for patients with a better health status or who are younger. CPR may also prolong life if it's done within 5 to 10 minutes of when the person's heart stopped beating or breathing stopped.

- Choose a Topic - About ECC AHA Home Page Chain of Survival CPR and AEDs Consumer Products "Currents" Newsletter International Programs Legislation Other Resources Science Training Materials Basic CPR Training Courses Advanced Life Support Courses What's New Early Access: Call 911 (or the EMS system in your area) and get an AED! Recognize an Emergency. First, you or other witnesses must recognize the emergency. You must recognize the warning signs of a heart attack, cardiac arrest, stroke, or choking. Anyone who is unresponsive should receive emergency care. Heart attack, cardiac arrest, stroke, and foreign-body airway obstruction can each cause unresponsiveness. Although many conditions — not just cardiac arrest — can cause unresponsiveness, all unresponsive victims will benefit from activation of the Chain of Survival. Call 911 (or the EMS system in your area). As soon as an emergency is recognized, call 911. When you or another rescuer calls 911, let the dispatcher ask you questions. While the dispatcher interviews you, he or she will enter the data on a computer. The information you give will be relayed to a response team. Answer in short, specific replies, giving only the requested information. The dispatcher will probably ask: "What is your emergency?"

Your Account Log In Help All Areas Products Drug Info General Site Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) involves a combination of mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing and chest compression. CPR keeps oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until appropriate medical treatment can restore a normal heart rhythm. Before starting CPR, assess the situation: Is the person conscious or unconscious? CPR is only performed when a person is unconscious and is not moving or is not breathing normally. Position the person so you can check for breathing and a pulse by laying the victim flat on a firm surface and extending the neck. If the person appears unconscious, tap or shake his or her shoulder and ask loudly, "Are you OK?" If the person does not respond, follow the steps below and get help by dialing 911 or calling for emergency medical assistance. If you cannot leave the scene, have someone else call. Breathing. Mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing is the quickest way to get oxygen into a person's lungs. Circulation.

(advertisement) Excerpt from Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: CPR, basic life support, BLS, cardiac arrest, automated external defibrillators, AEDs, ventricular fibrillation, rescue breathing, defibrillation, chain of survival Please click here to view the full topic text: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Heart disease is the number 1 killer in the United States. Each year, almost half a million Americans die from a heart attack. Half of these, or one quarter of a million people, will die suddenly, outside of the hospital, because their heart stops beating. The most common cause of death from a heart attack in adults is a disturbance in the electrical rhythm of the heart called ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation can be treated, but it requires applying an electrical shock to the chest called defibrillation. If a defibrillator is not readily available, brain death will occur in less than 10 minutes. One way of buying time until a defibrillator becomes available is to provide artificial breathing and circulation by performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR. The earlier you give CPR to a person in cardiopulmonary arrest (no breathing, no heartbeat), the greater the chance of a successful resuscitation.
