Cardiopulmonary resuscitation - Importance
Heart action and respiratory effort are absolute requirements in transporting oxygen to the tissues. The main organ to suffer from oxygen starvation is the brain, which may sustain damage after four minutes and irreversible damage after about seven minutes. The heart also rapidly loses the ability to maintain a normal rhythm. Following cardiac arrest, effective CPR enables enough oxygen to reach the brain to delay brain death, and allows the heart to remain responsive to defibrillation attempts.
CPR is commonly taught to ordinary people who may be the only ones present in the crucial few minutes before emergency personnel are available.
