In cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), chest compressions are also used to stimulate the heart. The Public Health Service recommmends that parents take first-aid and cardiopulmonary-resuscitation courses locally, as from the Red Cross or a nearby \u201cY,\u201d and review them periodically. They offer the following as general guidelines for maintaining basic life support in an infant.Emergency procedure for maintaining a flow of air through the pulmonary system by using mechanical means or hand pressure to aid a person whose breathing has stopped (e.g., because of drowning, injury, or drugs) or is otherwise not controlled.The forcing of air into and out of the lungs of one person by another or by mechanical means. Artificial respiration, also called rescue breathing, is usually performed when natural breathing stops because of disease, trauma, overdose of drugs, or by suffocation caused by drowning or other means. If the brain is deprived of oxygen for even 5 minutes, permanent damage can result, and after a few more minutes, death is likely to occur. Because of the danger of going for even short periods without breathing, artificial respiration should always be started as soon as possible. Respiratory first aid called cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) combines artificial respiration with chest compressions to keep blood moving throughout the body.An emergency procedure for maintaining a flow of air into and out of a patient's lungs when the natural breathing reflexes are absent or insufficient. This may occur after drowning, poisoning, etc.. or during a surgical operation on the thorax or abdomen when muscle-relaxing drugs are administered. The simplest and most efficient method is the mouth-to-mouth technique (the 'kiss of life\"). In hospital the breathing cycle is maintained by means of a respirator.The forcing of an exchange of gases (primarily air) between the lungs and the outside atmosphere by the application of pressure (or, sometimes, vacuum), either to the chest of the individual or to the gases themselves.Maintenance of respiratory movement by artificial means, such as rescue breathing, bag mask, pocket mask, automatic transport ventilator, manual transport ventilator, or a flow-restricted oxygen-powered ventilation device.Respiration sustained either manually or mechanically."}
