How to Save a Life
Learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR can help save a life.
When someone isn't breathing or circulating blood adequately, CPR
combines rescue breathing and chest compressions to restore circulation
of oxygen-rich blood to the brain. Without oxygen, permanent brain
damage or death can occur in less than ten minutes.
This short Mayo Clinic video will show you how to administer a modified form of CPR that focuses on chest compressions.
You
may need to use CPR skills during different emergencies like
near-drownings, suffocation, smoke inhalation and suspected sudden
infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Most importantly, remember to immediately call for emergency medical assistance whenever CPR is needed.
