What Does CPR Stand For? Learn How to Save a Life

Описание: What does CPR stand for in First Aid? CPR is short for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation – an emergency procedure performed when someone’s heart stops beating. Learn exactly what those letters mean and how CPR can save lives in cardiac arrest.

This quick video explains that the “cardio” in CPR refers to the heart, while “pulmonary” refers to the lungs. By performing chest compressions and rescue breaths, you take over the job of the patient’s heart and lungs, pumping blood and oxygen until professional help arrives. We also cover what “resuscitation” literally means – to revive.

While CPR itself may not “restart” the heart, it does buy precious time before a defibrillator or advanced medical care can treat the victim. Don’t be reluctant to help! Hands-Only CPR involving just chest compressions is also easy to learn and far better than doing nothing.

The best way to learn CPR is by taking an in-person class for certification. But this video summarizes the basics if you’re short on time. Ready to become the difference between life and death? Check out the resource below to sign up for CPR training today!
