How CPR Saves Lives CPR is a combination of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compression. "Mouth-to-mouth" helps get air into the victim's lungs while chest compression forces oxygen-rich blood to the brain and other organs. The key components of successful CPR are timing and training. Timing, because unless CPR is administered within 4 minutes of an arrest, the brain can be irreversibly damaged from lack of oxygen. Training, because too violent chest compression can cause the chest wall to cave in, while too-mild chest compression can fail to force adequate blood supplies to the brain.
