Bystander CPR
Bystander CPR is the emergency procedure performed by someone nearby when a person has stopped breathing or their heart has stopped beating. It involves chest compressions to help circulate blood and oxygen to vital organs until professional help arrives. Often combined with rescue breaths, it can significantly increase the chances of survival. The goal is to maintain blood flow and preserve brain function until advanced medical treatment is available. Bystander CPR is a critical skill that anyone can learn and perform, saving lives during sudden cardiac emergencies.
