resuscitation
Other forms: resuscitations
Resuscitation is the action of bringing someone back to consciousness. Ambulance workers are skilled at resuscitation.
To resuscitate is to revive someone who has passed out: this act is called resuscitation. If someone needs resuscitation, something serious has happened — the person has lost consciousness and may be on the verge of death. You've probably heard of "mouth-to-mouth resuscitation," which is one method of reviving. Medical professionals have many other techniques and gadgets that aid resuscitation. The Latin root word is resuscitare, "rouse again, or revive," from re and suscitare, "to raise."
