Performing CPR or using a defibrillator can help ensure the heart is pumping and the brain isn’t being starved of oxygen, until medical help arrives.
CPR is when you push down hard on the chest continuously to help the heart pump blood around the body. Meanwhile a defibrillator gives a high energy electric shock to the heart of someone in cardiac arrest.
