1. DEFINITION OF TERMS:
Airway = out of air into and out of the lungs
Artificial Respiration = or rescue breathing = a procedure of causing air to flow into and out of lungs of another person when his natural or spontaneous breathing ceased or is inadequate
Basic Life Support = an emergency procedure that consist of recognizing respiratory and cardiac arrest or both and proper application of CPR to maintain life or until a victim recovers or advanced life support is available
Cardiac Arrest = a condition wherein circulation stops, the pulse disappears and breathing stops at the same time soon thereafter
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation = is process of rescue breathing and chest compression that is provided to a person whose heart has stopped beating and who has stopped breathing
Breathing = The process of respiration, during which air is
