If circumstances permit, and you are not certain the person is dead, you should continue CPR until: * They revive * You are relieved by someone at or beyond your level of competance * They are definiately dead (ideally pronounced by someone at the scene who can legally do that). * You cannot physicall continue. * The situation becomes dangerous and you must retreat. Things that are a sure signs of death are: * Onset of Rigor * Decomposition * Obvious extreme wounds not consistent with life. * The mechanism of injury plus the patient's condition * Chilling of core temp below 80F (there will be some variance on this -- join in). Note that there are documented cases of drowning victims in super-cold water recovering from very very long immersion times (see Diving Reflex).
