What is CPR?

It is an emergency first aid procedure given when the need arises. CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation increases the chances of survival if a person has suffered a life-threatening problem.

CPR involves providing chest compressions and giving mouth-to-mouth breath to someone. This helps in increasing or maintaining the flow of blood in a patient until proper help can be given to them.

CPR is performed similarly for children and adults. It is done in the ratio of 30 chest compressions to 2 breaths. This process should be repeated until help arrives and proper medical assistance can be provided.

Therefore, while performing CPR, it's important that calls to paramedics should already have been made as it will ensure that the child is kept stable until proper medical assistance can be given to them.  So the statement is false.
