CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. As mentioned in the History section of CPR, it is a set of skills perfomed during a respiratory or cardiac arrest. CPR is an attempt to bring back the heart and lungs into normal function.
CPR helps keep blood and oxygen (O2) flowing when heart stops beating or when airway is obstructed. CPR does not save lives. The purpose is to keep the person's brain and heart supplied with blood and O2 until medical help arrives.
