Special considerations (see related link for good information): * Vomiting will be more prevalent in drowning situations; use a breathing barrier. * With typically colder water temperatures, if you have CPR PRO certification, you will check for signs of life 30sec instead of 10sec. * CPR can not be performed in the water; you need a hard surface (if you have CPR PRO certification, you can do RB in the water). * Do not put yourself in danger.
No.
There are only 3 times when you can stop giving CPR. You can stop if the EMT's get there and tell you to step aside, you get a heartbeat, or you physically cannot do the skills of CPR anymore.
Once CPR is started for an adult, don't stop to check for signs of life. Continue CPR until EMS arrives to take over.
