Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
In the real world, a provider of CPR uses chest compression and rescue breathing to continue blood flow, which provides oxygen to body tissues even if the heart and lungs have stopped. This allows time for advanced medical treatment.
Events in the DWU seem to imply that CPR is restorative. However, in the real world, this is a last chance technique. Further medical attention is required and, even then, it is frequently unsuccessful.
