	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 is a series of actions taken to establish normal breathing, heart rate, colour, tone and response in an infant with abnormal vital signs, i.e.
		Although not essential for basic resuscitation, it is very useful to have an infant laryngoscope and endotracheal tubes so that infants with severe asphyxia can be intubated, if bag and mask ventilation is not adequate.
		Therefore, it is better to give good resuscitation early to all infants with asphyxia and reduce the risk of brain damage that may occur if no resuscitation is given.

		The goals of resuscitation are to assist with the initiation and maintenance of adequate ventilation and oxygenation, adequate cardiac output and tissue perfusion, and normal core temperature and serum glucose.
		When preparing for the resuscitation of a hydropic infant, it is essential to have a sufficient number of skilled personnel in the delivery room to ensure that the multiple needs of this significantly compromised neonate can be met.
		In one study, resuscitation in room air was shown to be as effective as 100% oxygen at lowering pulmonary vascular resistance.

	Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) - Medical Encyclopedia for Nursing Students
		CPR or Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an emergency first aid procedure to help someone who has lost their ability to breathe and their pulse, i.e., their noticeable heartbeat.
		It is a response to a condition known as cardiac arrest, in which heartbeat and breathing have stopped.
		The cold seems to exert a protective effect on the victim and there are instances of hypothermia victims being revived through CPR, defibrillation and advanced, hospital-based warming techniques, after a half an hour or more.

		Despite the use of CPR, mortality rates for cardiac arrest are 70 to 90% for premature and term newborns and 90 to 97% for infants and children.
		About 50 to 65% of children requiring CPR are <; 1 yr; of these, most are < 6 mo. About 6% of newborns require resuscitation at delivery (see Table 263-11); the incidence increases significantly if birth weight is < 1500 g.
		The protocol is designed to standardize equipment and streamline resuscitation maneuvers during an arrest and to standardize equipment on all CPR carts.

		Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, or CPR for short, is a life-saving technique which combines rescue breathing and chest compressions to maintain a supply of oxygenated blood around the body, most importantly to the brain.
		It’s important to remember that there are different CPR techniques for babies (aged up to 12 months) and children (aged between one and seven).

	Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
		Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a combination of rescue breathing and chest compressions delivered to victims thought to be in cardiac arrest. When cardiac arrest occurs, the heart stops pumping blood. CPR can support a small amount of blood flow to the heart and brain to “buy time” until normal heart function is restored.
