Under what conditions may CPR be stopped?

CPR can be stopped when resuscitation efforts are transferred to another qualified individual. This is vital because the continuity of care is essential in a resuscitative effort. When a trained professional arrives to take over, they will assess the victim's condition and determine the best course of action. Transferring care ensures that the person performing CPR is not relieved of responsibility without a proper handover, which is crucial for the victim's safety.

The other conditions, while they may seem relevant in different contexts, do not typically justify stopping CPR immediately. Improvement in the victim's condition could mean that CPR may be adjusted or reconsidered, but it doesn't signify an immediate cessation of resuscitation efforts. The availability of physiotherapy is not a factor during the immediate response to cardiac arrest. Finally, simply completing a set number of cycles without considering the situation or the victim's condition would be inappropriate; CPR should be based on ongoing assessment rather than arbitrary counts.
