| | Cardiopulmonary resuscitation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. | | | Rescuers who perform CPR should ideally never be blamed for a patient's death because of "inadequate CPR": it is not CPR's goal to "save" someone, but only to maintain the circulation of oxygenated blood to the brain until more advanced medical help arrives to provide advanced cardiac life support. | | | 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. |

| | 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. | | | Careful notes must be made describing the infant's condition at birth, the resuscitation needed and the probable cause of the asphyxia. | | | Therefore, it is important to tell the mother that her infant needs some help and to explain to her what is being done to the infant. |

| | resuscitation - Columbia Encyclopedia® article about resuscitation |
| | Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the hospital is an aggressive technique employing drugs and defibrillation equipment, which administers electrical shocks to the heart in an attempt to restore the heartbeat. | | | Ideally the procedure is done by two people, one to give mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration and one to apply external heart massage, and special training is recommended. | | | CPR can be done in a hospital with drugs and special equipment or as a first-aid technique. |

| | Neonatal resuscitation skills are essential for all health care providers who are involved in the delivery of newborns. | | | Severe malformations observed in the delivery room should not change the resuscitative management unless skilled and experienced care providers are able to determine that the condition is incompatible with life. | | | Along with the necessary skills, the practitioner should approach any resuscitation with a good comprehension of transitional physiology and adaptation, as well as an understanding of the infant's response to resuscitation. |

| | 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). | | | Always consult your own GP if you're in any way concerned about your health. |

| | It was first promoted as a technique for the public to learn in the 1970s. | | | 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. |

| | With asphyxia, color, respiration, muscle tone, reflex response, and heart rate disappear sequentially (efficient resuscitation leads to an immediate improvement in heart rate, followed by reflex response, color, respiration, and muscle tone). | | | After the patient has been intubated, ventilated, and oxygenated, cardiac rhythm should be determined. | | | Epinephrine, atropine, and naloxone remain principal drugs in CPR (when vascular access is inadequate, these drugs can be given through the endotracheal tube). |

| | 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. | | | Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) | | | For information about taking a class near you, call the American Heart Association at (877) 242-4277. |

| | If someone's heart stops, blood no longer circulates, and the person will die unless the heart is restarted immediately. | | | In the case of a seriously ill person, however, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may not be what is wanted. | | | It is rarely effective in those who are very sick, and life after resuscitation can be short and usually involves the use of a ventilator. |
