resuscitations
Emergency breathing interventions
Resuscitations are acts of reviving someone from unconsciousness or apparent death.
The term appears most often in medical contexts: The paramedics performed multiple resuscitations that night.
CPR—cardiopulmonary resuscitation—is the most familiar form.
Figuratively, resuscitation extends to reviving anything moribund: the resuscitation of a failing business, the resuscitation of an abandoned project.
