It is a vital emergency procedure that combines chest compressions with rescue breathing to maintain blood flow and oxygenation to vital organs during cardiac arrest.

RCP
(Cardiopulmonary resuscitation)

Key
Principles

Prompt identification of cardiac arrest and initiation of CPR can significantly improve outcomes.

​​Early Recognition and Response

Proper technique in performing chest compressions (at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute and to a depth of at least 2 inches) is crucial for maintaining circulation.

​​Effective Chest Compressions

Communication among healthcare providers during CPR is essential for coordinated efforts and effective teamwork. Clear, concise instructions ensure everyone is on the same page, leading to better patient outcomes.

Clear Communication

CPR procedures may vary slightly based on the age and condition of the patient, emphasizing the importance of ongoing training and adaptation to different scenarios.

​​Adaptability and Training

• CPR can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim's chance of survival if performed immediately and correctly.

• It buys valuable time until advanced medical help arrives, such as defibrillation or medications.
