What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, more commonly known as CPR, is a life-saving technique used in emergencies. It is a combination of chest compressions and rescue breathing and can be performed on adults, children, and infants. While it may seem daunting, CPR is simple to learn, and anyone can do it with practice and certification.

The seven steps of CPR are easy to remember, and by following them, you can provide care to a victim of cardiac arrest until medical help arrives. Don’t be afraid to step up in an emergency – you could just save a life!
