- When we breathe out, we still have oxygen in our breath, although in lower amounts than in the air we inhale.
- CPR helps circulate blood in the body and deliver oxygen to the tissues, even if the person can't breathe on their own.
- Performing chest compressions and maintaining blood flow is more important than providing extra oxygen through mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
- CPR can help revive a person whose heart has stopped, preventing brain damage due to lack of oxygen.
- Oxygen levels in the body decrease during cardiac arrest, leading to the buildup of carbon dioxide and lactic acid, which can cause acidosis.
- In cases of asphyxiation, the presence of carbon dioxide triggers the urge to breathe, so CPR can still be effective even without additional oxygen.
- The goal of CPR is to keep blood and oxygen flowing until additional medical support, such as an AED, can be provided.
