Abstract

Cardio pulmonary resuscitation is a series of life saving technique, that improve the chances of survival which is used in many emergencies such as heart attack or near drowning, in which someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped. The American Heart Association recommends starting CPR with hard and fast chest compressions. The newest development in CPR guideline is a change in basic life support sequence of step from A-B-C (Airway, Breathing, chest compressions) to C-A-B ( chest compressions, Airway, Breathing) for adults. Also, Hands only (compression only) CPR is emphasized for untrained rescuer.
