CPR – or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation – is an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating. CPR, especially if performed immediately, can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival! Watch this video to learn the 2 …

2020年10月21日 · The 2020 American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Emergency Cardiovascular Care provides a comprehensive review of evidence-based recommendations for resuscitation and emergency

1997年4月15日 · All hospital staff who may need to respond to a sudden cardiopulmonary emergency are trained in basic life support (BLS) and, when appropriate, in the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). Such AED training is considered a basic skill for healthcare providers, particularly when professionals trained in ALS are not immediately available.

CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, can help someone survive cardiac arrest. Even if you don’t know CPR, you can help someone by using “hands-only CPR.” To give the person the best odds of survival, you need to take immediate action. Start CPR while someone else calls 911 and looks for an AED (automated external defibrillator).

Call 911 or your local emergency number. Most heart attacks don't lead to sudden death right away and don't need CPR. If needed, give CPR if you're trained or ask someone who is.

2020年10月30日 · The 2020 guidelines offer suggestions for increasing lay rescuer CPR rates, noting that currently less than 40% of non-hospitalized adults who experience cardiac arrest receive layperson-initiated CPR before the arrival of emergency medical services.

2023年5月29日 · The immediate recognition of cardiac arrest is essential to initiate the emergency medical services (EMS) response and begin CPR as soon as possible. In this era of universal mobile phone availability, it is now possible to call 911 while remaining with the victim.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure consisting of chest compressions often combined with artificial ventilation, or mouth to mouth 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.
