How do you recognize CPR conditions?

American Red Cross "First Aid and CPR/AED for the Workplace" (the handbook used in layperson CPR classes)

1. The scene must be safe
2. The victim must be unconscious or unresponsive
3. 911 would be called at this point- not a condition, but an important step.
4. The victim must not be breathing (some 'almost not-breathing' patterns are considered 'not breathing')

Up until 2006, you also had to check the pulse on an adult- that is no longer taught for adult CPR by any of the major certification groups.

However- a pulse check is still done by most of the groups if the victim is under 12 years old (8 for some programs)

You recognize if a victim is unresponsive by tapping the shoulder and shouting 'Are you OK?' No response = unconscious.

You check for breathing by putting your ear by the victim's mouth, then watch the chest. Look, listen, and feel for evidence of breathing for up to 10 seconds.

Start CPR when signs of life are not present. To check for signs of life, tip head and check for breathing. For an adult, if they are not breathing, give 2 rescue breaths and start CPR.

Stop CPR for the following conditions: An AED becomes available, more advanced medical personnel arrive to take over (or another trained person), the scene becomes unsafe, the patient shows signs of life, or you are too tired to continue.
