Cardiopulmonary resuscitation CPR is an emergency method of chest compression with artificial ventilation to restore breathing and blood circulation in someone who is in cardiac arrest.
CPR is necessary during injury, electric shock and heart attack. Irregular heart beat will prevent blood flow to different organs in the body, this is dangerous if it occurs for a long period of time.
