It is particularly important in an out-of-hospital setting as it can sustain life for the precious minutes before advanced medical support is available in the hospital settings. CPR is the use of therapeutic interventions to restore spontaneous circulation following a cardiac or a respiratory arrest. Once spontaneous circulation has been restored, patients require continued aggressive resuscitation to treat cardiac dysrhythmias, hypovolemia, metabolic acidosis, and acute renal failure, etc.
