CPR
CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Performing CPR can help keep blood flowing to the brain and other organs. It is easy to learn and should be performed immediately after you call 911 in the event of a medical emergency. You do not need to be a medical professional to do CPR on someone. There is also no risk of injuring a person while performing CPR.
