  1. 3. Emergency Medical Services
  2. 6. Act of pushing on the chest
  3. 10. A device using positive pressure to inflate the lungs of an unconscious person who is not breathing, in order to keep them oxygenated and alive.
  4. 11. The application of an electric current to the heart to restore normal rhythmic contractions after the onset of atrial or ventricular fibrillation.
  5. 12. also known as sudden cardiac arrest, is when the heart stops beating suddenly.
  6. 14. A condition in which there is uncoordinated contraction of the cardiac muscle of the ventricles in the heart, making them quiver rather than contract properly. Ventricular fibrillation is the most commonly identified arrhythmia in cardiac arrest patients.
  7. 18. takes up oxygen from the air we breathe and expels the unwanted carbon dioxide.
  8. 19. pump blood and oxygen around the body and deliver waste products (carbon dioxide) back to the lungs to be removed
