You keep administering CPR until signs of life are evident, the scene becomes unsafe, more advanced medical personnel arrive, an AED becomes available, or you become too tired to continue. You don't stop to check for signs of life since the ECC2005 guidelines were in effect.

If there are no signs of life at any point in time, immediately start CPR, and do not check again for signs of life. Keep performing CPR until medical personnel arrive to take over.

∙ 14y agoFor an Adult, you do not stop CPR to reassess for signs of life. When an AED becomes available, and CPR is stopped to hook up the AED, then at that time you reassess. For an Infant and Child, reassess for signs of life every 2 minutes (5 cycles).
