disorder in which the blood has a reduced ability to carry &%Oxygen due to a lower than
normal number of &%RedBloodCells, or a reduction in the amount of &%Hemoglobin.
When anemia comes on slowly, the symptoms are often vague, such as tiredness, weakness,
shortness of breath, headaches, and a reduced ability to exercise. When anemia is
acute, symptoms may include confusion, feeling like one is going to pass out, loss
of consciousness, and increased thirst. Anemia must be significant before a person
becomes noticeably pale. Symptoms of anemia depend on how quickly hemoglobin
decreases. Additional symptoms may occur depending on the underlying cause.
Preoperative anemia can increase the risk of needing a blood transfusion following
surgery. Anemia can be temporary or long term and can range from mild to severe.
in men is based on a hemoglobin of less than 130 to 140 g/L;
in women, it is less than 120 to 130 g/L. [from Wikipedia]")

&%BloodCirculation and &%Breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest. It is recommended for those who are
unresponsive with no breathing or abnormal &%Breathing, for example, agonal respirations.
CPR involves chest compressions for adults between 5 cm (2.0 in) and 6 cm (2.4 in) deep and at a rate of
at least 100 to 120 per minute. The rescuer may also provide artificial ventilation by either &%Exhaling
air into the subject's mouth or &%Nose (mouth-to-mouth resuscitation) or using a device that pushes air into
the subject's &%Lungs (mechanical ventilation). Current recommendations place emphasis on early and high-
quality chest compressions over artificial ventilation; a simplified CPR method involving only chest
compressions is recommended for untrained rescuers.
CPR alone is unlikely to restart the heart. Its main purpose is to restore the partial flow of oxygenated
blood to the &%Brain and &%Heart. The objective is to delay &%Tissue &%Death and to extend the brief window of
opportunity for a successful resuscitation without permanent &%Brain damage. Administration of an electric
