How To Perform CPR How To Perform CPR The first attempt at CPR was first recorded in the Bible at around 800 B.C. “And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands; and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.” This quote is from 2 Kings iv, 34. CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is an emergency first aid procedure used to help someone who has lost their ability to breathe and has also lost their pulse. Peter Safar first created CPR in the 1950’s although there is evidence of earlier usage of CPR. It was first promoted as a technique for the public to learn in the 1970’s. The American Heart Association has established the standards for CPR. They have recently been rewritten and they now have a more conservative view of the potential outcome of it. CPR is not usually effective on it’s own. Most of the time in order to save someone from cardiac arrest you need the help of a defibrillator.
