To keep the blood pumping around the body; every time the chest is compressed it contracts the heart and pumps the blood around the body (blood and oxygen is essential to ensure that people survive after the heart stops). Another reason is to keep blood pressure up while waiting for the ambulance crew/s to arrive.
