CPR is performed for three reasons:
1. To give the patient a chance of survival
2. The patient may be an organ donor and CPR is used to keep the organs Oxygenated
3. 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. The patient is resuscitated
2. Advanced Life Support takes over
3. When the rescuer is physically exhausted.
People who normally perform CPR are EMT's. It is possible to be trained in First Aid and CPR for a fee if you are not an EMT.
It only takes 1 person to perform CPR. An advanced CPR course can be taken to train you on 2-person CPR, which makes it easier and more productive than 1 person CPR.
