Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a combination of chest compressions and artificial respiration to restore oxygen-rich blood to the patient's brain. This technique is performed in emergency resuscitation cases due to accidents, suffocation, electric shock, and inhalation of toxic substances. So when is cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) needed for children?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be performed immediately upon detecting a patient with cardiac or respiratory arrest. Parents and those who directly care for children need to know how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation for infants and young children, because there are many causes that can cause children to have cardiac or respiratory arrest that we cannot foresee.
