resuscitates
Brings back breathing
Resuscitates means to revive someone who has stopped breathing or whose heart has stopped—to bring them back from the edge of death: Paramedics resuscitated the drowning victim.
The word extends to reviving anything that has failed or gone dormant: The new CEO resuscitated the struggling company.
The noun is resuscitation; CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
