Abstract:
Cardiopulmonary arrest is not a rare event in medical practice with the causes including congenital heart disease, heart attack, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, enlarged heart and other causes. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a first-line treatment for cardiac arrest. This lifesaving technique involves chest compressions and rescue breaths(mouth-to-mouth) to manually circulate blood in order to send sufficient oxygen to the brain until specialised treatment is available or until there's a spontaneous return of blood flow.
