In affluent nations, sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading cause of mortality when breathing and heartbeat stop, abrupt death happens.
Research has demonstrate that performing CPR on a victim of cardiac arrest appropriately can have a positive impact on their survival both in the short and long term. Because cardiac arrest, which is defined as the abrupt halt of breathing and appropriate circulation of blood by the heart, can happen at any time or in any situation, every nurse and doctor should be trained in CPR. Basic and advanced cardiac life support comprise the two categories of resuscitation measures.
