CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION What is CPR? Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is the procedure that maintains breathing and circulation artificially manually substituting the normal functions of the victim’s lungs and heart by helping the flow of air into the lungs and compressing the heart externally. When CPR is performed in a patient who has collapsed brain cells will be kept alive with the continuous supply of oxygen from the continual circulation of blood via the lungs and heart to reach the distal organs. Why Should I Learn CPR? CPR can help save lives. CPR is easy to learn. It’s just a simple series of actions that can save the life of someone close to you, anytime and anywhere. If you don’t know CPR, perhaps it’s time to learn. Do it for some one you love and save a life. Written material alone does not constitute a CPR course. To gain the skills of CPR, it is useful to practice on manikins with properly trained instructors as guides. Instructional videos may further enhance your skills. CPR in untrained individual may be potentially harmful. One of the most startling developments of modern medicine is that “sudden death” can be reversed. Perhaps more astonishing is the realization that this miracle of science may be brought about by any of us, anywhere, using only our hands , our lungs and our brains. CardioPulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) performed properly and promptly can help victims survive to receive treatment with advanced medical techniques. Who Should Attend?
