CPR guide

Emergency revival manual

A CPR guide is instructional material explaining cardiopulmonary resuscitation—the emergency procedure combining chest compressions and rescue breaths to maintain blood flow when someone's heart stops.

CPR guides appear as laminated cards, posters, smartphone apps, or training manuals, typically showing the sequence of steps with diagrams: The CPR guide was mounted on the wall next to the defibrillator.
