Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency first aid protocol for an unconscious person on whom neither breathing nor pulse can be detected.
The medical term for a patient whose heart has stopped is cardiac arrest (also referred to as cardiorespiratory arrest), in which case CPR is used. If the patient still has a pulse, but is not breathing, this is called respiratory arrest and Rescue breathing is used.
The most common treatable cause of cardiac arrest outside of a hospital is a heart attack leading to a heart rhythm disturbance. Cardiac arrest may be caused by a number of events, including drowning, drug overdoses, poisoning, electrocution and many other conditions.
