What does three-letter cpr mean?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is the abbreviation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and it is a rescue measure for patients with cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest.

Cpr is cardiopulmonary resuscitation, that is, cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest and awakening. It is more important to wake up from cardiac arrest here, because the vital organs of the human body will cause irreversible damage in about 5 minutes. There are two kinds of cardiac arrest: cardiogenic and noncardiac. Cardiogenic is generally ventricular fibrillation, non-cardiogenic is generally electric shock and drowning.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is the best way to rescue patients with respiratory and cardiac arrest, and it is also the first choice for patients with ventricular fibrillation and patients with pulseless electrical activity.

Specific operation steps of cardiopulmonary resuscitation:

First tap or call to determine whether consciousness exists, touch the carotid artery to see if there is fluctuation, and immediately perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation after determining the heartbeat and breathing stop;

Secondly, choose the midpoint of the connecting line between the two nipples as the operating part of chest compression, overlap your hands, and don't bend your elbow joint, so that the whole body weight can be transferred to the chest through your arms, so that the compression will continue without fatigue.

The pressing frequency is 100 times per minute and the depth is 5-6 cm; If it is a single operation, artificial respiration twice every 30 times is effective for restoring carotid pulse.
