Do not change any of the CPR steps for a quad patient. Having supplemental oxygen, using a BVM, or non-rebreather mask would be helpful.

So effectively when performing CPR you are not keeping the patient alive, you, are preventing them from brain damage and or Death.CPR is performed for three reasons:1. To give the patient a chance of survival2. The patient may be an organ donor and CPR is used to keep the organs Oxygenated3. Practice - you may not resuscitate the patient but the next time you need to perform CPR you will be a little more experienced.The rescuer should only stop CPR if one of three things happen:1.
