CPR: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a procedure to support and maintain breathing and circulation for a person who has stopped breathing (respiratory arrest) and/or whose heart has stopped (cardiac arrest).

CPR is part of the emergency cardiac care system designed to save lives. Many deaths can be prevented by prompt recognition of the problem and notification of the emergency medical system (EMS), followed by early CPR, defibrillation (which delivers a brief electric shock to the heart in attempt to get the heart to beat normally), and advanced cardiac life support measures.

Each year, CPR helps save thousands of lives in the United States. More than five million Americans annually receive training in CPR through American Heart Association.

First Aid: immediate and temporary treatment of a victim of sudden illness or injury while awaiting the arrival of medical aid.

Proper early measures may be instrumental in saving life and ensuring a better and more rapid recovery. Conditions that require immediate attention to avert death include cessation of breathing, severe bleeding, poisoning, strokes, and heart attack. The essentials of first aid treatment also include the correct bandaging of a wound; the application of splints for fractures and dislocations; the effective methods of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and treatment of shock, frostbite, fainting, bites and stings, burns, and heat exhaustion.
