compressions
Repeated chest pushes
Compressions are acts of pressing or squeezing together, reducing volume or space.
In CPR, compressions are the rhythmic pressing on a patient's chest to manually pump the heart: She performed thirty compressions before giving rescue breaths.
Data compression reduces file size.
Physical compressions can refer to bandaging that applies pressure to injuries, or geological forces compacting rock layers.
