Cessation of heartbeat and breathing

Reference no: EM133711672

Question

Clinical death is the most common among types of death and is linked with cessation of heartbeat and breathing. Although it is the most common type of death, lifesaving technology and techniques can help save people from loss of heartbeat and/or breathing or at the very minimum suspend the result. The three most common types of life saving strategies are CPR, mechanical ventilation, or believe it or not giving a person a blanket to treat for hypothermia. Also, the success rate for saving a person's life by the means of conducting cardiopulmonary resuscitation has gone up drastically since the order of importance has switched from ABC to CAB when a known cardiac arrest event is happening (Airway circulation breathing). Manually pumping blood from a patient's heart to their vital organs is of the utmost importance and super time critical when a patient has a cessation of a heartbeat. But a huge positive is that anyone can learn how to do lifesaving CP.
