- Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR for short is an emergency and first aid technique to prevent brain death in a person who has no heart beat. It is less often used in hospital settings where defibrillators and heart-lung bypass machines are the preferred method of dealing with cardiac arrest. CPR works best with two persons. The patient is placed flat on their back and one person compresses the ribcage just above the heart approximately 1-2 inches with five quick thrusts in about four seconds. At that point, the other person performs artificial respiration, fully filling the patient's lungs with air and letting it escape. The thrusts are then repeated, followed by another breath. CPR can work for exceedingly long periods of time, but is extremely tiring and usually causes broken ribs to the patient. As such, emergency care is always called for and outside of a hospital setting, an ambulance should be called before CPR is started. In Human Error, Foreman and Cameron lead a team to perform CPR on the patient for more than three hours when House instructs them not to put the patient on bypass as he fears clotting will cause a stroke.
- Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is an emergency medical procedure used on humanoids who are victims of either cardiac or respiratory arrest. CPR provides artifical blood circulation and respiration until a person spontaneously recovers, is placed on a life support system, or dies. During the final battle with Khan Noonien Singh, an overloaded helm console seriously injured Commander Hikaru Sulu, stopping his heart. Doctor David Marcus performed CPR on Sulu until medics could arrive and take Sulu to sickbay, saving Sulu's life in the process. (TOS novelization: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) When the Srivani were experimenting on the USS Voyager's crew, Roberta Luke was one of those most seriously affected by the Srivani's genetic modifications. Because of the genetic modifications, Luke collapsed on the bridge. Captain Kathryn Janeway attempted to perform CPR on the young woman, but was unable to save her life.

- Further advances on Earth at the turn of the 21st century revealed that machines capable of compressing the entire rib cage could circulate blood in a patient far more efficiently than normal Human-administered CPR, which only compresses the sternum. This greatly increased the likelihood of patients surviving cardiac arrest. With the use of cortical stimulators and various advanced medicine, even this was obsolete for routine medicine by the 22nd century. (citation needed • [ edit]) Though uncommon due to technology, CPR was still used in the 23rd century if so required. Dr. Leonard McCoy attempted CPR on Chancellor Gorkon after technological methods failed. Although McCoy's CPR (along with what was possibly the "precordial thump" technique) revived Gorkon, he died moments later. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) In the 24th century, CPR was used solely in field medicine when other stimulant technologies were unavailable. It was typically used in conjunction with cordrazine, which was included in all field first aid kits. (VOY: "Coda") CPR proved ineffective for patients who had lost a significant amount of blood. In 2374, Kathryn Janeway attempted CPR on a dying crewmember, but was discouraged by The Doctor for that reason. (VOY: "Scientific Method")
