You can't, nobody does. You react by your past experiences. You do what your mind compells you to do in an emergency situation. You will do something right or wrong. Your basic instinct is to help! You may become a hero or another casualty. That idea is not realized until after the affair.

When can you do resuscite cardiac arrest when stop it?

If you come across a casualty who:* Is not breathing * Has no pulse: # Assess Danger to yourself first, then by-standers, then to the casualty. If there is any danger, either remove or contain it (If possible) or call the people who can (fire dept, electrical company etc.) If the danger cannot be removed or contained, and it is safe to do so, remove the casualty from the danger zone. # See if you can get a response from the casualty. If there is no response, clear the airway (including remove dentures). # We have already established that the casualty is not breathing by either watching their chest (no rise/fall) and by having a cheek close to their nose/mouth. # We have also established the casualty has no pulse, by checking their radial (wrist) or carotid (neck) arterial pulses, of which there is none. # Have someone call an ambulance# Give 2 breaths by pinching the casualty's nose, opening the mouth by pulling down on the chin, creating a seal around the mouth with yours (if possible, use a face shield, or impovise using a plastic bag or piece of paper with a hole in it) and breath. Breaths should not be longer than 1 second each. Ensure the casualty's airway is open (Head tilted back slightly to make the throat straight). # Give 30 compressions. Find the bottom of the sternum (Bone in middle of chest which connects ribs). Place one palm on the casualty's left side of the sternum, place other hand on top of this and interlock fingers. Give hard compressions of the chest at the pace of a regular heart beat. Don't go crazy with the pace, and don't think you'll hurt the casualty by pushing too hard. You need to be squeezing the heart to pump the blood around the body, so you cant go too hard. If you hear crunching noises, you've broken ribs because your hands weren't positioned properly. # Continue with 2 breaths to 30 compressions until the ambulance has arrived or the casualty regains consciousness. This is a very physically demanding task, so have a few people helping you, and take turns (rotate every few minutes). # If available, apply Automatic External Defibrillator as soon as possible. The ambulance should have one anyway. Remember: If they recover or not, you did your best. People can only complain if you do nothing.Hope this helps :D
