CPR
Emergency chest pumping
CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation—an emergency procedure combining chest compressions and rescue breathing to maintain blood flow when someone's heart stops.
The technique is taught in first aid courses and can sustain life until professional help arrives: I took a CPR class at work.
Figuratively, CPR describes desperate attempts to revive something failing: The franchise needs more than CPR at this point.
