CPR (short for cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is a combination of chest compressions and ventilations that circulate oxygen-rich blood to the patient’s brain and other vital organs when the patient’s pulse and breathing have stopped. CPR-related skills include the use of  an automated external defibrillator (AED) and oxygen administration.

This section includes CPR-related concepts and skills, which include:
