when the blood and oxygen supply to the
heart is reduced.
Cardiac Arrest
• Condition Occurs when the heart stop
contracting
Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation

breathing and chest
compressions.
• Rescue breathing
provides oxygen to the
person's lungs.
• Chest compressions keep
oxygen-rich blood flowing
until the heartbeat and
