Sudden cardiac arrest is an abrupt occurrence where the heart ceases to function and results in death within minutes. According
GREYUIT [131]

Placing of the hand above the chest is the first step while administering CPR after ensuring that the environment is safe.

When the heart stops beating, CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is a life-saving emergency operation. After cardiac arrest, immediate CPR can increase survival rates by a factor of two to three.

  3. Giving chest compressions.
  4. Opening of the airway.
  5. Delivering rescue breathes.
  6. Watching the patient's chest fall.
  7. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
