Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a
life-saving technique used to restore and maintain circulation and breathing in a person during a medical emergency, such as cardiac arrest.
Adults: It is important to perform CPR on adults to restore the function of the heart and lungs when the heart is not beating due to cardiac arrest or other life-threatening emergency situations. It can also help support circulation until Emergency Medical Services arrive.
Children: Since children’s hearts and lungs are smaller and weaker than those of adults, immediate
CPR for pediatric patient is important to increase the chances of recovering from cardiac arrest. It can also help support their circulation and increase their chances of survival until Emergency Medical Services arrive.
Infants: It is important to perform CPR on infants since their hearts and lungs are even more fragile than those of adults and children. Early treatment is key in helping to revive an infant and restoring their heart and lung function, as well as providing support until medical assistance can arrive.
