I learnt that the purpose of CPR is to induce respiration to the body so that the heart keeps beating, why while we keep breathing the heart will automatically beat?
In: Biology
It won’t.
There are many reasons the heart may stop beating that breathing will not fix…
But without breathing the heart cannot beat because your body can’t get energy for the heart to beat (or for your brain to think, or to generally stay alive) without oxygen.
So breathing does not guarantee the heart keeps beating but *without breathing* the heart will definitely stop, so if you want to keep somebody alive breathing is one of the top priorities.
