	Cardiopulmonary resuscitation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency first aid protocol for an unconscious person on whom both breathing and pulse cannot be detected.
		In 2005, new CPR guidelines were published with input from the American Heart Association, the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation and European Resuscitation Council, with the primary goal of simplifying CPR for laypersons and healthcare providers alike.
		The truth remains that while CPR is an integral part of the resuscitation process, it cannot be used to replace other resuscitative adjuncts such as defibrillation, airway management and intravenous drug therapy.

		Resuscitation in special situations like near drowning, electric shock, trauma, and hypothermia is, more or less, on the same guidelines which were recommended in the 1980s.
		Although no transmission of viral infection during mouth-to-mouth resuscitation has been documented, it was suggested that all hospital and EMT personnel must be encouraged to use airway adjuncts for ventilation to avoid cross infection of dangerous infectious diseases.
		As far as neonatal resuscitation is concerned, the new guidelines discourage the use of calcium and atropine since neither has been shown to be effective in acute resuscitation.

	Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Information on Healthline
		Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a procedure to support and maintain breathing and circulation for an infant, child, or adolescent who has stopped breathing (respiratory arrest) and/or whose heart has stopped (cardiac arrest).
		In newborns, the most common cause of cardiopulmonary arrest is respiratory failure caused by sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), airway obstruction (usually from inhalation of a foreign body), sepsis, neurologic disease, or drowning.
		Many deaths can be prevented by prompt recognition of cardiopulmonary arrest and notification of the emergency medical system (EMS), followed by early CPR, defibrillation (which delivers a brief electric shock to the heart in attempt to get the heart to beat normally), and advanced cardiac life support measures.

	Cardiopulmonary resuscitation - CPR - The Doctors Lounge(TM)
		CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an emergency first aid procedure used to help a person who has lost their pulse and their ability to breathe normally, a condition known as cardiac arrest.
		Cardiac arrest is a condition nearly everyone experiences in the last few minutes of life, and refers to a period in which the heart muscle, although failing, still has some residual life in it and may sometimes be brought back to normal functioning by emergency techniques.
		The Resuscitation Council also says: "Only stop to recheck for signs of a circulation if the victim makes a movement or takes a spontaneous breath; otherwise resuscitation should not be interrupted".

		Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can be attempted on any person whose cardiac or respiratory functions cease.
		But because for every person there comes a time when death is inevitable, it is essential to identify patients for whom cardiopulmonary arrest represents a terminal event in their illness and in whom attempted CPR is inappropriate.
		Health professionals are aware that decisions about attempting resuscitation raise very sensitive and potentially distressing issues for the patient and people emotionally close to the patient.

	Kern K - Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation without Ventilation
		Considering that resuscitation outcome is the most important endpoint we performed six prospective, randomized experimental trials comparing standard BLS CPR (including ventilation) with chest compressions-only CPR, and sometimes with a third control group receiving no simulated "bystander" CPR at all.
		This 30 seconds in the beginning of a resuscitation effort may potentially be very important in preserving both vascular tone and gasping for a longer period during the cardiac arrest resuscitation effort.
		In considering simplification of the current resuscitation scheme a logical start is an honest reappraisal of the importance and priorities of each of the once sacrosanct ABCs, specifically establishment of an Airway, artificial Breathing (specifically mouth to mouth breathing), and chest compressions for temporary Circulation.
