Difference Between CPR and First Aid
CPR or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, is an emergency technique used when someone isn’t breathing and unconscious, involving chest compressions and rescue respiration. First Aid is a wider range of skills for dealing with injuries and illnesses, such as managing wounds, bleeding, allergic responses, and includes CPR. Both are vital, and CPR is a standard part of all first aid training.
