That's just my two cents.
Yes, as far back as 1740.

No, of course it wasn't. It was developed in the 1960s. People can even see this for themselves by looking up educational films about resuscitation. Up until the 1960s, you'll see that they were still teaching the old-fashioned method of rolling someone onto their stomachs and lifting their arms. It's not until the early 1960s when you see the modern day version of resuscitation emerge.

Thanks. I didn't believe modern CPR methods were used despite my web link.

No problem.
If you're curious, here's are three vintage educational films showing first aid. One is from the 1920s, the other the 1940s, and the last one the 1950s. You'll see the old-fashioned method being demonstrated before CPR was developed.

The first few minutes of this clip shows the history of resuscitation throughout the ages, including the "barrel" method, where the victim was literally slung over a barrel that was then rocked back and forth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxiG5Q202Wk

Excellent scene, though.
shareWell.. per the link, it sounds like mouth to mouth & chest-compressions to help dying & drowning people, were some weird rarity that DID exist back then, but just weren't very widely known about.
But I can excuse it, with the idea that Houdini worked with a LOT of stuff that could cause drowning, so he'd have researched for methods of insuring that someone who started drowning might still be saved, and he found out about these methods.
Sometimes fires don't go out when you're done playin' with them.
Mouth to mouth resuscitation (not CPR) dates from the mid 1700s.
