Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, commonly known as CPR, is an emergency procedure that combines chest compression often with artificial ventilation in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest.
If you are unable or unwilling to perform rescue breathing, engage in chest compression-only CPR with the victim. This will still aid the victim in recovering from cardiac arrest. CPR is most effective on a hard surface so moving the victim to the floor is a good idea before starting CPR.
