Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a series of immediate actions to take to restore the flow of oxygenated blood to a person's brain and organs when they suffer Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). If the flow of oxygenated blood to the brain is not restored within a few minutes the victim could die or suffer irreversible brain damage.
This module trains healthcare professionals to recognize cardiac arrest, activate the emergency response system, and perform high-quality CPR with chest compressions, rescue breaths, and AED use. It emphasizes rapid assessment, team coordination, and adherence to current resuscitation guidelines for both adult and pediatric patients.
