What should you do if you feel too exhausted to continue CPR?

When performing CPR, it is critical to prioritize the safety and effectiveness of care provided. If you feel too exhausted to continue, the appropriate response is to call for help and alert emergency services. This action ensures that additional assistance is on the way, which is vital in managing the situation effectively.

When you are fatigued, the quality of your CPR may diminish, leading to less effective chest compressions and possibly compromising the patient’s chances of survival. By calling for help, you not only safeguard your ability to give high-quality compressions but also facilitate a transition to more capable hands as soon as possible.

This approach fosters a collaborative response in emergencies, highlighting the importance of having additional trained individuals to take over when needed, thus maintaining a continuous and effective effort to resuscitate the patient. The other choices do not provide the necessary action or support that may be required at such a critical moment.
