Cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, commonly known as CPR, is an emergency procedure performed 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.

According to the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation guidelines, CPR involves chest compressions for adults between 5 cm (2.0 in) and 6 cm (2.4 in) deep and at a rate of at least 100 to 120 per minute. The rescuer may also provide breaths by either exhaling into the subject's mouth or nose or using a device that pushes air into the subject's lungs. This process of externally providing ventilation is termed artificial respiration. Current recommendations place emphasis on high-quality chest compressions over artificial respiration; a simplified CPR method involving chest compressions only is recommended for untrained rescuers. In children only doing compressions may result in worse outcomes.

    At The Edge

    by: Cpr

    At the Edge (4: 21)
    Words: David Crosby
    Our grasp is so fragile the thread is so thin
    I wonder each day if I'm blowing away
    I know that I'm lucky
    I wouldn't be here at all if somebody's hand
    hadn't been where I stand
    at the edge of a very great fall
    And like a lighthouse before you at the edge of the sea
    the woman whose grip holds when you slip
    But the darkness won't get you
    Your family won't go
    they will make your heart light
    to where you know what is right
    and you go where you know you should go
    And it's life and it's dying
    it's beginnings and end
    it's what did you do
    with the life they gave you?
    It's were you the honest, and
    did you make amends
    To all the ones under your guns
    How have you treated your friends
