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. 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. 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. 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
