CPR and The Renaissance
A heart beats to signify life. The beating of the heart could be interpreted either physically or metaphorically. If a heart stops to beat, life is no longer existent. A beating heart can represent and symbolize two topics: resuscitation and religion. This can relate to the process of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the reformation of the Roman Catholic Church during the Renaissance. Both CPR and the reformation of the Catholic Church during the Renaissance can relate to one another because they both involve putting a breath into people, making changes so that in the end the situation can be better, and sometimes needing to try twice to succeed.

One step of the CPR process involves artificial respiration. Artificial respiration is the restoration or substitution of someone's breathing by manual, mechanical, or mouth-to-mouth methods. Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia states, “This [30 compressions] is followed by two breaths, administered using the mouth-to-mouth method of artificial respiration” (6th edition). The 2 breaths are an important part of CPR because they keep air flowing throughout the victim’s body. Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia also states, “.. it [CPR] is done with great urgency to avoid the brain damage or death that result from four to six minutes without oxygen” (6th edition). If the breaths were not administered, the victim would suffer unneeded damage that could have easily been avoided. Just as CPR involves putting a breath into people, so does the Renaissance. Martin Luther, a major reformer of religion during the Renaissance had a big impact on reform during this time period. The Roman Catholic church during this time was the main religion of Europe. It had much power over the country and its people. Luther though, saw many flaws in which the ways the church operated. Luther wrote a paper which was called “The 95 Theses”. This paper entailed a list of all the complaints Luther had about the church and how he felt about the way things were being run. Luther posted …show more content…
CPR being a relatively new process is still rapidly changing over time. What once may have been considered the safest and most effective way to perform the process may now have been replaced by a better and more successful process. In the past, CPR was performed by administering 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths. This was previously the best way to perform CPR on a victim. Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia explains, “External heart massage only, also known as hands-only CPR, at the rate of 100 compressions per minute, is now considered as acceptable as standard CPR for teenagers and adults who have not collapsed due to breathing problems or drug abuse or who are not drowning victims” (6th edition). CPR is a rapidly changing process in order to better the results and end with the best possible outcomes. Because CPR is still somewhat of a new process, modifications will continue to be made until the process with the highest succession rate is achieved. The Renaissance has also made changes so that in the end the situation can be better. Among many changes which took place during the Renaissance, The reformation of the Roman Catholic Church was one of great importance. Owen Chadwick, former professor of history at Cambridge University writes in The Reformation: Turning Points in World History, “The Pope
