Detailed explanation-1: -Continue cycles of CPR. Do not stop unless you find an obvious sign of life (such as breathing), an AED is ready to use, another trained responder or EMS personnel take over, you are too exhausted to continue or the scene becomes unsafe. Use an AED as soon as one is available.

Detailed explanation-2: -Give two breaths after every 30 chest compressions. If two people are performing CPR, give one to two breaths after every 15 chest compressions. Continue CPR until you see signs of life or until medical personnel arrive.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is important to note that only a person who is well-trained in CPR should perform CPR. This is because, if not performed properly, CPR may lead to severe injuries of internal organs.

Detailed explanation-4: -After a second shock, the AED will allow you to provide two more minutes of CPR. The AED will continue working in this way with two minutes of CPR between each shock. Continue listening to the AED until EMS arrives to take over.

Detailed explanation-5: -How long you can sustain giving compressions depends on your physical endurance. Some people feel exhausted after ten minutes while others can continue for up to two hours. If you feel exhausted after performing CPR and can no longer continue due to fatigue, you can stop giving compressions.
