What is another word for cardiac massage?
Pronunciation: [kˈɑːdɪˌak mˈasɑːʒ] (IPA) 
Cardiac massage is a medical procedure in which medical professionals apply pressure to the chest to stimulate the heart when it has stopped beating. It is known by various synonyms, such as chest compression, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), cardiac arrest management, and cardiac compressions. Chest compression involves rhythmic compressions of the chest, which are designed to mimic the beating of the heart and maintain the flow of oxygen-rich blood to vital organs. CPR is a more comprehensive approach that includes mouth-to-mouth breathing and chest compressions. Cardiac arrest management refers to the overall management of a patient who has suffered cardiac arrest, including administration of emergency medications. While these terms may have different nuances, they all relate to the same life-saving intervention for people experiencing cardiac arrest.
