The full form of CPA in medical term is Cardiopulmonary Arrest. The termination of efficient circulation and breathing is known as cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA). Circulatory arrest or cardiac arrest are other names for it. A main cardiac event in adults likely brings it on. Most cardiac arrests are brought on by arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms), many of which are not immediately recognized.
To lower your risk of experiencing another cardiac arrest, your doctor could advise making lifestyle changes.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and shocks to the heart administered by an automated external defibrillator are emergency treatments for sudden cardiac arrest (AED). With prompt, adequate medical care, survival is feasible.
A heart attack is not identical to sudden cardiac arrest. A heart attack occurs whenever blood flow to a portion of the heart is blocked. There is no obstruction to account for sudden cardiac arrest. Nevertheless, a heart attack can alter the heart’s electrical activity, which might result in a sudden cardiac arrest.
