What Are CPR Guidelines?

CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) guidelines are the standardized, life-saving steps for responding to a cardiac arrest. They include performing chest compressions and, if trained, rescue breaths to maintain blood flow to the brain until medical help arrives.

What Seniors and Caregivers Should Know

Cardiac arrest is a significant risk for older adults, and knowing CPR can be life-saving. It's also vital to discuss resuscitation preferences with family and doctors. These preferences can be legally documented in an advance directive, such as a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order.
