How it's used
This term is the formal medical designation for CPR, often abbreviated in casual speech as CPR or simply referred to as 急救 when the context of resuscitation is implied. While it is the correct term for training manuals and professional settings, people in an emergency will typically shout for help or ask if anyone knows how to perform first aid rather than using the full five-character name.
Examples
The ambulance officer immediately performed CPR on him.
