What is CPR?
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving emergency procedure used when someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped, often due to cardiac arrest or another medical emergency. It combines chest compressions and rescue breaths to help keep oxygenated blood flowing to vital organs.
