Reasons for Procedure
Lay CPR is given to an unresponsive victim who is not breathing and and is not responsive. Reasons for this may include:
- Sudden cardiac arrest
- Cerebrovascular accident (eg, stroke )
- Trauma
- Choking
- Drowning
- Electrical shocks and lightning strikes
- Severe infection
- Severe allergic reaction
- Drug overdose
- Excessive bleeding
- Hypothermia
The outcome will depend on the initial cause and how soon effective CPR was initiated. Many victims are unable to regain a normal heartbeat after it has stopped.
