New page

'''CPR''' is an emergency procedure for a person whose [[heart]] has stopped or is no longer breathing. It consists of

* Rescue breathing, to get oxygen to the lungs
* Chest compressions, to keep blood circulating

When blood flow or breathing stops, seconds count. Permanent brain damage or death can happen quickly. CPR can maintain circulation and breathing until emergency medical help arrives. You should not try CPR unless you have had training - if it is done incorrectly, it could harm someone. <ref>http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/cpr.html</ref>

	CPR is a rather violent procedure, unlike how it is portrayed in television shows, and usually causes significant secondary injuries, especially to the victim's rib cage. If performed improperly, not only will it be ineffective, but the damage can be severe. As such, it is only performed as a last resort. Therefore, you should not try CPR unless you have had training - if it is done incorrectly or when not absolutely necessary, it will almost certainly do more harm than good.<ref>http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/cpr.html</ref>		CPR is a rather violent procedure, unlike how it is portrayed in television shows, and usually causes significant secondary injuries, especially to the victim's rib cage.
