CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. It is an emergency lifesaving procedure performed on individuals who have experienced cardiac arrest or stopped breathing. CPR combines chest compressions and rescue breaths to circulate oxygenated blood throughout the body and maintain essential organ functions until advanced medical help arrives.
