CARDIOPULMONARY ARREST DEFINITIONIs the injury cost by the

sudden failure of the heart contraction, with consequent absence of the heartbeat leading to the lack of oxygen and eventually to death. It basically consist of the incapacity to breath because the heart has suddenly stopped beating, and blood cannot circulate through the lungs.

DEFINITIONCardiopulmonary 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. It is indicated in those who are unresponsive with no breathing or abnormal breathing, for example, agonal respirations.

Agonal respiration, is an abnormal pattern of breathing and brainstem reflex characterized by gasping, labored breathing, accompanied by strange vocalizations and myoclonus.
