Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Prince George – CPR, or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, is a vital life-saving procedure that can make the difference between life and death for someone in medical distress. In this week’s episode of “To Your Health,” we will focus on the importance of the rescue breathing technique.

CPR is essential when a person’s heart stops beating or they stop breathing. By performing rapid chest compressions, CPR mimics the heart’s rhythm, helping to maintain blood flow throughout the body.

Victims of sudden cardiac arrest require immediate CPR to prevent irreversible damage due to a lack of blood flow to the brain and other organs. Administering CPR can significantly increase the chances of survival for these individuals.
