The letters in CPR stand for CardioPulmonary Resuscitation, a combination of rescue breathing (mouth-to-mouth resuscitation) and chest compressions. If a person is not breathing or not circulating blood adequately, CPR can restore circulation of oxygen-rich blood to the brain.  Without oxygen, permanent brain damage or death can occur in less than 8 minutes.  Heart attack and heart disease includinig sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in adults.  Most cardiac arrests occur in persons with underlying heart disease.

Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in adults.  Most arrests occur in persons with underlying heart disease.  CPR doubles a person's chance of survival from sudden cardiac arrest.  75% of all cardiac arrests happen in people's homes.  The typical victim of cardiac arrest is a man in his early 60's and a woman in her late 60's.
