    Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique used when someone's heartbeat or breathing has stopped. It involves chest compressions and rescue breaths to keep oxygenated blood flowing until emergency help arrives. The basic steps of CPR include checking the scene and person for responsiveness, calling for help, opening the airway, checking for breathing, performing chest compressions at a rate of 100-120 per minute, giving rescue breaths, and continuing cycles of compressions and breaths until emergency services take over or signs of life return. Proper training and certification in CPR techniques are important to ensure correct response in emergencies.

    Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique used in emergencies when someone's

    heartbeat or breathing has stopped. The goal of CPR is to provide a combination of chest compressions
    and rescue breaths to keep oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until more
    advanced medical care can be administered.

    The basic steps of CPR typically include the following:

    1. Check the scene and the person: Ensure the area is safe for you and the person in need of help. Tap
    the person on the shoulder and shout, "Are you okay?" to determine if they are responsive. If there is no
    response, quickly check for normal breathing for no more than 10 seconds.

    2. Call for help: You should call emergency services or have someone else do it as soon as you have
    determined the person needs help. If you're alone, perform CPR for about two minutes before making
    the call.

    3. Open the airway: Gently tilt the person's head back and lift the chin to open the airway.

    4. Check for breathing: Place your ear close to the person's mouth and nose. Look, listen, and feel for
    breathing. If the person is not breathing normally, start CPR.

    5. Perform chest compressions:

    - Place the heel of your hand on the center of the person's chest.

    - Place your other hand on top of the first hand and interlock your fingers.

    - Position your body so your shoulders are directly over your hands, and keep your arms straight.

    - Use your upper body weight to push straight down on the chest about 2 inches, at a rate of 100 to
    120 compressions per minute. Allow the chest to return to its normal position after each compression.

    6. Give rescue breaths:

    - Tilt the person's head back and lift the chin up.
    - Pinch the nose shut, place your mouth over the person's mouth, and give two breaths, each lasting
    about one second.

    - Watch for the chest to rise with each breath.

    7. Continue CPR: Perform cycles of compressions and breaths in a ratio of 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
    Continue until the person shows signs of life, such as breathing, or until medical professionals take over.

    It's important to note that the steps of CPR may vary slightly depending on the specific technique being
    followed (e.g., adult, child, or infant CPR) and any updates to guidelines from organizations like the
    American Heart Association.

    Remember, proper training and certification in CPR are valuable for learning the correct techniques and
    ensuring confidence when responding to an emergency situation. If possible, consider taking a certified
    CPR course to receive hands-on training and guidance from qualified instructors.

    CPR is an essential skill that can make a crucial difference in saving someone's life during a cardiac arrest
    or other life-threatening situations. It's also important to regularly review and practice CPR skills to
    maintain proficiency and be prepared to help in case of an emergency.
