What are the types of resuscitation?
CPR Techniques
- High-Frequency Chest Compressions. High-frequency chest compression (typically at a frequency >120 per minute) has been studied as a technique for improving resuscitation from cardiac arrest.
- Open-Chest CPR.
- Interposed Abdominal Compression-CPR.
- “Cough” CPR.
- Prone CPR.
- Precordial Thump.
- Percussion Pacing.

What is resuscitation method?
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique. It aims to keep blood and oxygen flowing through the body when a person’s heart and breathing have stopped. CPR can be performed by any trained person. It involves external chest compressions and rescue breathing.
Is resuscitation the same as CPR?
The letters CPR stand for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The term embraces all the procedures from basic first aid to the most advanced medical interventions that can be used to restore the breathing and circulation in someone whose heart and breathing have stopped. Rescue breaths are also known as ‘mouth to mouth’.
What are the aims of resuscitation?
The aim of neonatal resuscitation is to prevent neonatal death and adverse long-term neurodevelopmental sequelae associated with perinatal asphyxia. Substantial physiologic changes occur in the transition from fetal to extrauterine life including: the role of the placenta in gas exchange is taken over by the lungs.
What is the aim of resuscitation?
Its main purpose is to restore partial flow of oxygenated blood to the brain and heart. The objective is to delay tissue death and to extend the brief window of opportunity for a successful resuscitation without permanent brain damage.
What happens during resuscitation?
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) combines rescue breathing (mouth-to-mouth) and chest compressions to temporarily pump enough blood to the brain until specialised treatment is available. Chest compressions are the priority in CPR.
