Resuscitation Guidelines

Resuscitation guidelines provide trained responders with evidence-based steps to help someone experiencing cardiac arrest or respiratory failure. The most common approach is CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), which involves pushing hard and fast on the chest to maintain blood flow, and providing rescue breaths if trained. If an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is available, it can deliver an electric shock to restore normal heart rhythm. These guidelines emphasize early action, safety, and coordination to improve the chances of recovery until professional medical help arrives. They are regularly updated to reflect the latest research and best practices.
