b) Cardiac Pulsatile Revision
c) Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
d) Cardiopulmonary Revision

Question from UPPSC Prelims 2024

Correct Answer: c) Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Explanation:

CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. It is a life-saving technique used in emergencies when someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped, such as during a cardiac arrest or drowning. The term “cardiopulmonary” refers to the heart (“cardio”) and lungs (“pulmonary”), and “resuscitation” means reviving someone from unconsciousness or apparent death. CPR involves chest compressions and, in some cases, rescue breaths to help maintain blood flow and oxygenation to vital organs until professional medical help arrives.
