Treatment
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation [CPR]
An emergency measure that can maintain a person’s breathing and heartbeat. The person who performs CPR actually helps the patient’s circulatory system by breathing into the patient’s mouth to give them oxygen and by giving chest compressions to circulate the patient’s blood. Hands-only CPR involves only chest compressions
Cardioversion
A technique of applying an electrical shock to the chest to convert an abnormal heartbeat to a normal rhythm.
