What is the technique called that provides artificial circulation and breathing when someone's heart or lungs have stopped?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Heimlich maneuver
Heimlich resuscitation
Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation

The correct answer is: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation

The correct technique that provides artificial circulation and breathing when someone's heart or lungs have stopped is known as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This lifesaving procedure is critical in emergency situations such as cardiac arrest or respiratory failure. CPR combines chest compressions with rescue breaths to maintain blood flow and oxygenation to the brain and other vital organs until further medical assistance can be provided. The other options do not apply in this scenario. The Heimlich maneuver is designed to help someone who is choking by expelling an object lodged in their airway, while the term "Heimlich resuscitation" is not a standard term recognized in medical practice. Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, on the other hand, is a program for patients with chronic heart or lung conditions to improve their health through monitored exercise and education, rather than an immediate emergency intervention. Therefore, CPR is the only technique among the choices specifically designed for restoring circulation and breathing.
