Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Practice

Question: 1 / 400

What should be done after 5 cycles of CPR are performed?

Check for signs of life or call for advanced medical help if not already done

After performing 5 cycles of CPR, checking for signs of life or calling for advanced medical help is essential because you need to assess whether the patient has resumed a normal heart rhythm or is showing other indications of life. This step is crucial as it ensures that the patient is receiving appropriate help timely, and if they still show no signs of life, further CPR efforts or resuscitation methods may be necessary.

Calling for advanced medical support ensures that more trained personnel can take over or provide additional medical interventions, such as medication or advanced airway management. Assessing vital signs and ensuring the safety of the rescuer while considering the need for emergency services is an integral part of the CPR process, following the standard guidelines.
