Scientists often prefer the term "cardiopulmonary resuscitation" (CPR) over "artificial respiration" because it more accurately encompasses the combined techniques of chest compressions and rescue breaths used to revive someone in cardiac arrest. The term "artificial respiration" implies a focus solely on breathing support, neglecting the crucial role of circulating blood and oxygen to vital organs. Additionally, CPR emphasizes the importance of maintaining blood flow, which is vital for survival until professional medical help arrives.
