Resuscitation is the urgent attempt to restart breathing or the heart before it's too late.

means The act of reviving someone from unconsciousness or apparent death, usually through CPR, rescue breathing, or restarting the heart.

from From Latin resuscitare — re- ('again') plus suscitare ('to raise, to rouse from below'), itself built on sub- ('up from under') and citare ('to set in motion, to summon'). So the word's bones literally mean 'to summon back up again' — which is exactly what you're doing, shouting the body back to its feet.
