The technique used to revive a person whose breathing and heartbeat have stopped is called ______.

• A. AED
• B. CPR
• C. Resuscitation
• D. Rescue Breathing

Answer: (B)

When a person has stopped breathing and has no heartbeat, CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is the technique used to revive them. It combines chest compressions to keep blood flowing through the body with rescue breaths to deliver oxygen to the lungs. The goal is to maintain circulation and oxygen delivery until professional help arrives or an AED can be used. An AED is a device that can restore a normal heart rhythm with a shock when appropriate, but it doesn’t replace the manual sequence of compressions and breaths. Rescue breathing alone provides air but doesn’t keep blood circulating, and resuscitation is the broad act of reviving someone, not the specific step-by-step method used here.
