resuscitation techniques
Life-saving medical procedures
Resuscitation techniques are methods used to revive someone whose breathing or heartbeat has stopped.
CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) combines chest compressions with rescue breathing.
Other techniques include the Heimlich maneuver for choking, mouth-to-mouth breathing, and using a defibrillator to restore heart rhythm.
The lifeguard performed resuscitation techniques until paramedics arrived.
