Here at Heartland CPR one of the most frequent questions encountered by our instructors is “When do you Stop CPR?”.
This is a very valid question regarding something as important as CPR. Many people fear giving CPR to someone who does not respond. Which brings us to the question, how long do you continue giving CPR in this situation? For the answer to this question we will turn to the American Heart Association. According to their policy the only acceptable reasons for stopping CPR are as follows :
· The victim starts to move.
· An AED arrives.
· Trained help arrives and takes over.
· You are too exhausted to continue or it’s dangerous for you to continue CPR.
· Trained help tells you to stop.
· Obvious signs of death become apparent.
The Heartland CPR instructors do their best to make our guests feel comfortable and confidant to handle any situation that may arise, but always feel free to ask questions. Always remember, “It’s better to do something rather than nothing!”
At Heartland CPR it’s more than a job; education is our mission!
