Hello, I'm a certified first aid instructor with extensive knowledge in emergency medical response, including CPR. When it comes to stopping CPR, there are several important considerations to keep in mind. Firstly, you should never stop CPR until professional help arrives unless you are physically unable to continue or the person shows signs of consciousness and begins to breathe normally. If you are unsure, it's better to continue CPR. Additionally, remember that CPR is a lifesaving technique that can help maintain blood flow to the brain and other vital organs until an ambulance arrives. Stopping CPR too early can lead to irreversible brain damage or death. If you are performing CPR and the person starts to move, shows signs of consciousness, or begins to breathe normally, you should stop and reassess the situation. However, if the person does not regain consciousness and does not have a pulse, you should continue CPR until help arrives. In summary, the key points to remember are: 1. Do not stop CPR unless professional help arrives or you are physically unable to continue. 2. If the person shows signs of consciousness and normal breathing, stop CPR and reassess. 3. Continuing CPR can be life-saving and should only be stopped under the right circumstances. read more >>
