Respiratory arrest

**Respiratory arrest** is the cessation of breathing due to failure of the lungs to function effectively. Apnea is the stopping of breathing. Prolonged apnea refers to a patient who has stopped breathing for a long period of time. If the heart muscle contraction is intact, the condition is known as respiratory arrest. The heart not pumping blood is called a cardiac arrest. Lack of oxygen to the brain causes loss of consciousness.

Brain injury is likely if respiratory arrest goes untreated for more than three minutes, and death is almost certain if left untreated for more than five minutes. However, the brain is less damaged by a lack of oxygen if the body is cold, which helps in situations like treating hypothermia (such as giving CPR). This means that helping the blood flow in hypothermia is more important than treating the respiratory arrest, to some amount. One of the first serious stages of anaphylaxis is respiratory arrest, then followed by cardiac arrest and death.

Automation

In the context of engineering, **automation** is when a device or a machine is changed in such a way that it can fulfill the task it was designed for without the need of human interaction. Very often, this means that the machine is fitted with an additional system which takes control of its functions. For example, a centrifugal governor controls a steam engine.

Benefits of automation are that the output of the machine or device are more uniform, and that product quality is improved. A system that is not fully automated needs human interaction is needed: Many of the tasks involved are repetitive and boring. In general, machines are also designed so that humans no longer need to lift heavy weights or do dangerous things. With automation, human intervention is limited  or absent.
