How does CPR change?

CPR works on the principal that compression on the sternum causes a change in the pressure in the chest cavity which makes blood flow. There is a change in pressure in the Venae Cava, the Aorta, and the pulmonary vasculature which moves blood. The blood flow will allow for cerebral perfusion, thus keeping the brain alive.
