Resuscitation - An Explanation

A living person needs the support of "ABC" mentioned below:

Airway - clear airway

Breathing - normal breathing

Circulation - proper blood circulation

You are aware that respiration or breathing is the method by which oxygen passes from the air into our blood, and waste carbon dioxide is removed via our lungs.

Circulation is the method by which blood transports oxygen and nutrients to various parts of the body, and wastes are carried from the tissues.

The heart is the pump which makes circulation possible. In case of persons becoming unconscious, "ABC" aspects are to be taken care of by a process known as resuscitation.

Resuscitation is the process of

i) clearing the airway,

ii) restarting breathing and

iii) restoring blood circulation.
