What Is A CPR?
CPR is an emergency technique used to maintain heart function and breathing manually. It includes chest compressions to help circulate blood and rescue breaths to supply oxygen to the body until professional help arrives.

The method was developed in the 1950s and is guided by organisations such as the American Heart Association (AHA). It follows the CAB sequence, which stands for compressions, airway, and breathing.
It is generally performed when a person is unresponsive, not breathing normally, and has no pulse. Situations where CPR is used include heart attacks, drowning, or electrocution.
