Question: 1 / 400

CPR represents what medical procedure?

central pulse rate

cardio pulmonary resuscitation

CPR stands for cardio pulmonary resuscitation, which is a life-saving medical procedure that is used in emergency situations when a person's breathing or heartbeat has stopped. This is achieved through the use of chest compressions and rescue breaths to keep oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs. None of the other options accurately describe the procedure of CPR. Central pulse rate (A) and cardio pulse rate (D) are not medical terms and are not related to CPR. Central pulmonary resuscitation (C) combines two incorrect terms and does not accurately describe the procedure. Therefore, the correct answer is B cardio pulmonary resuscitation.
