Introduction
• The human body needs a constant circulation of blood pumped from the heart in order to keep the cells oxygenated
• Without oxygen, cells begin to die, ending with death of the brain and eventually, the body
• When performing CPR the goal is to restart the heart or keep it pumping until professional medical aid is available

Problem
• People’s reactions are limited in stressful situations
• If CPR is performed incorrectly– Cracked or broken ribs/sternum– Irregular heartbeat– Air flows into stomach– Death

Program• We used PIC Assembly
language and MPLAB X IDEto write and compile our code
• We had to constrain the chip so the light flashed once every .6 seconds thirty timesand then to have the buzzer sound twice,2 seconds apart
• We also had to set the chip to only startafter we pressed the button and to go on aconstant loop until the button is pressedagain
