1. 1. CPR Defination CPR is a technique through mechanical, physiologic and pharmacologic methods to resuscitate the individuals in sudden unexpected death resulting from reversible disease.
2. 2. The purpose of CPR is To temporarily provide effective oxygenation of vital organs (especially the brain and heart) until appropriate, definitive medical treatment can restore normal cardiac and respiratory activity. Used alone, CPR will result in few complete recoveries, and those who do survive often develop serious complications.
3. 3. History of CPR The history of CPR and cerebrial arrest prophylaxis begins in ancient times. 5000 -first artificial mouth to mouth ventilation in 3000 BC 1780 first attempt of newborn resuscitation by blowing 1874 first experimental direct cardiac massage 1901 first successful direct cardiac massage in man 1946 first experimental indirect cardiac massage and defibrillation 1960 indirect cardiac massage 1980 development of cardiopulmonary resuscitation due to the works of Peter Safar first International CPR Guidelines in 2000

7. 7. A FEW HARD FACTS 330,000 die annually from coronary heart disease 60% from SCA @ home or en route 85-90% in VF/VT arrest Less than 1/3 get bystander CPR Even pros dont do good CPR! 2-3 x greater survival if CPR is immediate, with defib
