Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, can save the life of someone whose heart has stopped.
kɑrdioʊˈpʊlməˌnɛri rɪˌsʌsɪˈteɪʃən, ɔr si-pi-ɑr, kæn seɪv ðə laɪf ʌv ˈsʌm wʌn huz hɑrt hæz stɑpt.
The condition is called cardiac arrest. The heart stops pumping blood. The person stops breathing.
ðə kənˈdɪʃən ɪz kɔld ˈkɑrdiˌæk əˈrɛst. ðə hɑrt stɑps ˈpʌmpɪŋ blʌd. ðə ˈpɜrsən stɑps ˈbriðɪŋ.
Without lifesaving measures, the brain starts to die within four to six minutes.
wɪˈθaʊt ˈlaɪf‘seɪvɪŋ ˈmɛʒərz ðə breɪn stɑrts tu daɪ wɪˈðɪn fɔr tu sɪks ˈmɪnəts.
CPR combines breathing into the victim's mouth and repeated presses on the chest.
si-pi-ɑr kəmˈbaɪnz ˈbriðɪŋ ˈɪntu ðə ˈvɪktəmz maʊθ ænd rɪˈpitɪd ˈprɛsəz ɑn ðə ʧɛst.
CPR keeps blood and oxygen flowing to the heart and brain.
si-pi-ɑr kips blʌd ændˈɑksəʤənˈfloʊɪŋ tu ðə hɑrt ænd breɪn.
However, a new Japanese study questions the usefulness of mouth-to-mouth breathing.
haʊˈɛvər, ənuˌʤæpəˈniz ˈstʌdi ˈkwɛsʧənz ðə ˈjusfəlnəs ʌv maʊθ-tu-maʊθ ˈbriðɪŋ.
The study was published in the British medical magazine, The Lancet.
ðə ˈstʌdi wʌz ˈpʌblɪʃt ɪn ðə ˈbrɪtɪʃˈmɛdəkəlˈmægəˌzin, ðə ˈlænsət.
Doctors in Tokyo led the research.
ˈdɑktərz ɪn ˈtoʊkiˌoʊ lɛd ðə riˈsɜrʧ.
It examined more than four thousand people who had suffered cardiac arrest.
ɪt ɪgˈzæmənd mɔr ðæn fɔr ˈθaʊzənd ˈpipəl hu hæd ˈsʌfərd ˈkɑrdiˌæk əˈrɛst.
In all the cases, witnesses saw the event happen.
ɪn ɔl ðəˈkeɪsəz ˈwɪtnəsəz sɔ ði ɪˈvɛnt ˈhæpən.
More than one thousand of the victims received some kind of medical assistance from witnesses.
mɔr ðæn wʌn ˈθaʊzənd ʌv ðəˈvɪktəmzrəˈsivd sʌm kaɪnd ʌv ˈmɛdəkəl əˈsɪstəns frʌm ˈwɪtnəsəz.
Seven hundred and twelve received CPR. Four hundred and thirty-nine received chest presses only.
ˈsɛvən ˈhʌndrəd ænd twɛlv rəˈsivd si-pi-ɑr. fɔr ˈhʌndrəd ænd ˈθɜrdi-naɪn rəˈsivd ʧɛst ˈprɛsəz ˈoʊnli.
No mouth-to-mouth rescue-breaths were given to them.
noʊ maʊθ-tu-maʊθ ˈrɛskju brɛθs wɜr ˈgɪvən tu ðɛm.
The researchers say any kind of CPR improved chances of the patients' survival.
ðə ˈrisərʧərz seɪ ˈɛni kaɪnd ʌv si-pi-ɑr ɪmˈpruvd ˈʧænsəz ʌv ðə ˈpeɪʃənts sərˈvaɪvəl.
But, they said those people treated with only chest presses suffered less brain damage.
bʌt, ðeɪ sɛd ðoʊz ˈpipəl ˈtritəd wɪð ˈoʊnli ʧɛst ˈprɛsəz ˈsʌfərd lɛs breɪn ˈdæməʤ.
