CPR is a manual procedure that involves chest compressions and rescue breaths to maintain blood flow and oxygenation in someone who has suffered a cardiac arrest. AED, on the other hand, is a device that delivers an electric shock to the heart to restore its normal rhythm.

CPR is a manual procedure that involves chest compressions and rescue breaths to maintain blood flow and oxygenation in someone who has suffered a cardiac arrest. AED, on the other hand, is a device that delivers an electric shock to the heart to restore its normal rhythm.

While performing CPR, it is possible to break someone's ribs or cause other injuries due to the force required to properly administer chest compressions. However, the potential benefits of performing CPR far outweigh the risks of injury.

CPR should be performed continuously until professional medical help arrives, or the person shows signs of life. If performing CPR alone, it is recommended to switch with another person every 2 minutes to avoid fatigue.
