• Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a valuable life –saving skill for use as emergency care until medical help arrives. CPR combines rescue breathing and chest compressions when the heart and/or lungs have stopped working.

CPR is important in cases of Heart attack, drowning, electric shock, and problems may cause a victim’s heart to stop pumping blood.  This is called cardiac arrest.
