CPR & AED (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Automated External Defibrillator) are two critical components of emergency medical response that are used to save lives in cases of sudden cardiac arrest.
CPR is a lifesaving technique performed on individuals who have stopped breathing or whose heart has stopped. It involves a series of chest compressions and rescue breaths to manually circulate oxygenated blood throughout the body until professional medical help arrives. The main goal of CPR is to maintain blood flow to vital organs, especially the brain, and increase the chances of successful resuscitation.
