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.
