CPR (aka cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is a simple way to save a life. When a heart stops, the modern teaching is to "get on the chest" and start giving compressions.
But it may surprise nobody that there were early forms of CPR. There were whole committees devoted to this topic. Some of the first ideas were definitely a rough draft. Others were downright comically bad, though well-meaning. The history of CPR is almost as sexy as Baywatch made it seem.
