A casualty has stopped breathing and you've started giving them chest compressions. How long should you continue trying to resuscitate them?


Explanation

"When giving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), continue until the casualty is breathing unaided or until medical help arrives. Don't give up. Look for signs of recovery and check the casualty's pulse. Avoid moving them unless it's necessary for their safety."
